Praise for Downbelow Station:

Winner of the 1982 Hugo Award for Best Novel

[ Downbelow Station] has a marvellous perspective on humanity in the wider universe.... The plot is a complex maneuvering of factions and realignment of interests. There are space battles, and there are economics of space stations.... Its a novel about desperate people, desperate spacestations, desperate aliens, a desperate spacefleet thats out of choices. Tor.com

A solid, vividly realized background; excellent characterization of humans and aliens; and an ability to keep a story moving Intelligent space adventure, conceived and executed on a grand scale. Booklist

Take one highly vulnerable space station. Pack it with realistic characters. And then start a war. You'll end up with 1982's Hugo winner, Downbelow Station, by C.J. Cherryh and a hell of a story. io9

"Cherryh has created her strongest character and her best novel in a story of space exploration, colonization, and war." Questar

"Full of imagination, action, and understandable, sympathetic characters...." Analog 

The well-drawn variety of backgrounds and motivations of the characters is the works strength. VOYA   Downbelow Station is a fascinating, complex deep-space-war political novel with a lot of subtle twists. Fantasiae
