Publisher's Summary

Lord Miles Vorkosigan has a problem that all his new power can't solve: unrequited love for the beautiful Vor widow Ekaterin Vorsoisson. Ekaterin is violently allergic to marriage as a result of her first exposure. But, as Miles learned from his late career in galactic covert ops, if a frontal assault won't do, go to subterfuge.

Miles has a cunning plan, which, of course, has to be worked out in between District succession scandals and plans for the emperor's wedding. And if no battle plan survives first contact with the enemy, just imagine what all Miles' friends and relatives can do to his romantic strategy.

What the critics say

"The latest Miles Vorkosigan adventure has him campaigning in four plots....Bujold weaves all four actions into a seamless whole that her faithful readers may rank among the best books in an outstanding series." (Booklist)

"Bujold successfully mixes quirky humor with just enough action, a dab of feminist social commentary, and her usual superb character development in a sprightly SF romance that her many fans will find enormously satisfying." (Publishers Weekly)

Very Good

Funny but way too many characters to remember who they are and who is evil and who is good. But then again at my advance age I am happy when I can remember who I am. All in all I recommend this book , I think its the best so far in the series.

Miles in Love, Miles overplans...

Fabulous addition to the Vorkosigan saga. A great deal of the inner workings of the aristocratic society, and its manners and absurdities.

One of my favourite in the series. More character than plot, and a rich experience, especially if you have read any of the preceding novels (Komarr might be essential to fully immerse yourself in this novel)

Political intrigue and romance, mystery and tension. This novel is superb.
