A couple of people have given list of C. J. Cherryh's books, but have not
noted that these two:
Port Eternity			82
Forty Thousand in Gehanna	84

are set in the same universe as these:
Downbelow Station		81
Merchanter's Luck		82

PE and FTiG aren't as closely related as are DS and ML, but they do belong
together.  If you're reading them in order, read DS and ML before the other
two.  Also, while I'd classify DS and ML as "hard" SF, PE is much more...
well, I'll say exotic...than the other two, and FTiG is somewhere in between.

Incidentally, she has written a short story or two set in this universe, also.
I just read "The Scapegoat", which has a surprising ending (at least, I was
surprised; I began to guess at it only a few pages from the end).  It's in a
new book, a collection of 3 short stories called "Alien Stars", edited by
Elizabeth Mitchell; the other two stories are by Joe Haldeman and Timothy
Zahn (I haven't read those two yet).
