Of all the CJ Cherryh books, why Serpent's Reach? Not that it's not a good book, but why that one in particular?

I suspect that you might like Benford's Center of the Galaxy series (Across the Sea of Suns is the 2nd of these), and Serpent's Reach. I suspect the rest aren't your sort of thing.

Oh, I love Diane Duane. I'll confess I don't much of the rest on your list, though I recognize a good many authors.
