And so we reach the end. Despite my initial doubts about 'cats etc in space' I actually ended up thoroughly enjoying this. It very much fitted well into Cherryh's oeuvre and if space politics and economic shenanigans are your jam then all of her output is in this space. This was a fine finisher to the series and the resolution was particularly satisfying for me. A definite recommend for the whole series. Just don't think too hard about cats in space.
