Favorite Parts of Heavy Time by C.J. Cherryh and Thoughts on it.

 


P. 213

"...- It was the way the deep-spacer had said, the one they'd gotten in to talk to the class back then:  You live on wave-fronts.  You live on a station, you ride the local wave - the time you know.  You go somewhere else, it's a different wave.  Maybe a whole set of waves, coming fromd different places, different times.  There's an information wave.  There's fads.  There's goods.  There's ideas.  They propagate at different rates."


Poor Dek, he's a little lost still (or maybe a lot) and still trying to find his feet.

Heavy Time by C.J. Cherryh - borrowed from Public Library on 1/18/2026

 Start Read:  1/27/2026 Currently on Chapter 11 - PP 176-177 As with her Space Operas that are a part of the Union-Alliance Story Universe, you have quite a bit of mystery and intrigue mixed in with corruption and politics on a Solar System-wide scale.  In this case, Paul Dekker, a pilot, is rescued with his wrecked ship, and apparently, his partner Cory is dead. There's quite a bit going on, and I'm still in the middle of reading it, but I'm at least halfway or a little more than halfway done.  I'm liking it so far.  It's more a re-read, but it's been a very long time since I've borrowed this one from the library (too many books I want to read).
