#downbelowstation — Public Fediverse posts

Chap 2 is where the action starts, and it's already intense. There's a lot of info about the world and characters conveyed in the action, from how good at organisation stationers are to the character of Signy. It's good stuff. There's also some hints in there about "native workers" that does not bode well for how the Pell's planet is being treated!

So I've started Downbelow Station by C.J. Cherryh, and I'm jotting down thoughts here as I go.

It's been a while since I've read 20th century sci-fi and the writing style is taking a little getting used to. It starts with a lot of exposition, which I could maybe have picked up from context, but the worldbuilding is great.

While I'm having hard time deciding where to begin, this particular #scifibook happened to come up in the timeline; so, let's start with a piece of #fanart from 2019 for #CJCherryh's novel, #DownbelowStation - featuring Joshua Halbraight Talley, Union Fleet Armscomper, and Damon Konstantin, Pell Station legal affairs. (Mocked into a #bookcover too, just because).

Must say "hey" because I just added #cjcherry to my profile, and turns out you are the only one talking about her today, which is something that ought to change. Love #downbelowstation and #cyteen, but recently reread #serpentsreach and thought it was a story for these times.
