C J Cherryh, undoubtedly my favourite writer. It is just a shame that so
much of her work is so hard to find. I used to run the SF section at the
bookshop where I work, and it was frustrating not being able to stock my
favourite author.
I have not read _Cyteen_, but I thought that _Downbelow_ and _Tripoint_ were
awesome.
All the best
