This is another of Cherryh's Alliance-Union Universe books.
In the first of a trilogy, (Foreigner, Invader, Inheritor), we find a planet that has never known another race until humans accidentally are stranded there, a race that does not understand the concept "love", but has more than a dozen words for the word "betrayal." In this book we find a man who is the sole contact between humans and the Atevi, and what happens to him when racial politics and human emotions collide.
A recommended read, but make sure you read this one FIRST if you read the trilogy.
