A friend of mine heard from some friends of his at DC that the Cherryh book was literally hacked out in a long weekend. The book was done strictly for the money. I've read other books by the author which I have enjoyed and so was surprisingly disappointed in the bland, and uninteresting mess that was put forth.
It had a nice jacket cover though.
