I would personally recommend starting with one of the Company Wars books-- perhaps Heavy Time or Tripoint-- or maybe Rusalka. Cherryh does a good job of writing protagonists who are tired, stressed, confused, and sometimes make bad choices because of it, and I think it's worth seeing whether you are up for that dynamic in a more or less self-contained story, first.
