|
| rdfs:comment | - Downbelow Station is a science fiction novel written by C. J. Cherryh and published in 1981 by DAW Books. It won the 1982 Hugo Award for Best Novel, and was named by Locus Magazine as one of the top 50 science fiction novels of all time in 1987. The working title of the book was The Company War, but Cherryh's editor at DAW, Donald A. Wollheim, believed that the moniker lacked commercial appeal, so Downbelow Station was selected as the title for publication.

| abstract | - Downbelow Station is a science fiction novel written by C. J. Cherryh and published in 1981 by DAW Books. It won the 1982 Hugo Award for Best Novel, and was named by Locus Magazine as one of the top 50 science fiction novels of all time in 1987. The book is set in Cherryh's Alliance-Union universe during the Company Wars period, specifically late 2352 and early 2353. The book details events centering on a space station in orbit around Pell's World (also known as "Downbelow") in the Tau Ceti star system. The station serves as the transit point for ships moving between the Earth and Union sectors of the galaxy. The working title of the book was The Company War, but Cherryh's editor at DAW, Donald A. Wollheim, believed that the moniker lacked commercial appeal, so Downbelow Station was selected as the title for publication.
