Query: Diane's first disappointment

Usually knowing that a book is by Diane Carey is knowing that I'll really enjoy it. However, I was unable to finish this book. I tried and gave up halfway through. I found the alien culture confusing, and I did not care for the "Starfleet" characters. I had started in on the New Earth series and gave up on them. They do not interest me at all. I will not read any more New Earth/Challenger books.
