THE LONG-AWAITED RETURN OF MILES VORKOSIGAN! “Fresh, intriguing, and, as always with Lois McMaster Bujold, superb.” ?Robert Jordan “It is such a delight to read something by such a good writer, who now seems to be writing at the height of her powers. . . . I really have seldom enjoyed a book so much . . . I couldn't turn the pages fast enough.” ?Diana Wynne Jones “Living breathing characters who inhabit unusual yet believable worlds.” ?Jean Auel “Bujold successfully mixes quirky humor with just enough action, a dab of feminist social commentary and her usual superb character development . . . enormously satisfying.” ?Publishers Weekly “One of sf's outstanding talents . . . an outstanding series.” ?Booklist “Excellently done . . . Bujold has always excelled at creating forceful characters and she does it here again.” ?Denver Post “. . . an intelligent, well-crafted and thoroughly satisfying blend of adventure, sociopolitical commentary, scientific experiments, and occasional perils . . . with that extra spicing of romance. . . .” ?Locus
