Miles Vorkosigan makes his debut in this frenetic coming-of-age tale. At age 17, Miles is allowed to take the entrance exams to the elite military academy; he passes the written but manages, through miscalculation in a moment of anger, to break both his legs on the obstacle course, washing out before he begins. His aged grandfather dies in his sleep shortly after, for which Miles blames himself. Miles is sent to visit his grandmother Naismith on distant Beta Colony, accompanied by his bodyguard, Sergeant Bothari and Bothari's daughter, Elena. Miles passes himself off as a mercenary leader as he picks up a ragtag crew, and soon Miles' father Aral is under political attack back home as garbled rumors of Miles' mercenary operations trickle back. Miles must abandon his new fleet and dash back to Barrayar to stop the plot.©1986 Lois McMaster Bujold; (P)2005 Blackstone Audiobooks Fiction Science-fiction Militaire

Ce que les critiques en disent

"The pace is breathless, the characterization thoughtful and emotionally powerful....Highly recommended." (Booklist)

Plot had few shaky passages in the beginning, but I ended up enthralled by the end. This is one of the more solid books in the series.

Solid entertainment

Loved the military strategy and sardonic commentary. The narrator was good too, a bit dry at times but it suited the story.

Entertaining

Loved it.

I love this whole series, but this particular book is probably my favourite. I love the accidental nature of the main plot points, that seem inevitable by the end given Miles’ cunning. Excellent reader too.

Fabulous!
