I am also a huge fan of Cherryh's work - it's refreshing in the way that
most of the techie bits and heavy SF stuff forms just an accepted part
of
her characters' background and life, just as it should, rather than
being
thrust at the reader with huge technobabble infodumps and spurious
exposition (oooh, lots of long words for so early in the morning....)
;-)

Good stuff. Highly recommended.
