Having loved Gate of Ivrel, I eagerly snatched up several more CJ Cherryh books from eBay. One of them was Heavy Time, part of her Company Wars sub-series in the greater Alliance-Union Universe. The third book in this sub-series, Downbelow Station won Cherryh her first Hugo, so I was excited for this.

That excitement didn’t last long. 220 pages into this 350 page science fiction-flavored xanax, even sunk cost fallacy couldn’t carry me through to the end. I rarely DNF a book, often forcing myself to keep reading even if I’m not enjoying it. Not this time. What went wrong?
