Downbelow Station

Finished this simply because the Sword & Laser forum led me to believe it would get better (it did, but only marginally) and then because I'd read over half of it, it seemed a waste to give up. Will not be reading any more in the series and it's very unlikely I'll try another C.J. Cherryh book; I think I disliked the writing style as the plot was interesting but I just couldn't get into it
