About this listen

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.

Critic Reviews

"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)

A comedic journey to love

Narration - Grover Gardner's narration has brought this series to life. His rendition of Miles and the rest of the characters is amazing.

Story - Moving away from space opera and action, this book focuses on the characters. We get to see our hero (Miles) try to tackle courtship with Ekaterin in the same way he used to tackle his covert ops missions. We know that such an attempt is bound to fail and it fails spectacularly for him.

The other threads of the story are equally interesting, from the curious case of Lord Dono to that of Rene's genes. Careen and Mark's tumultuous relationship and the Kudelka family's responses are hilarious. In the middle of all this, Ivan works his magic behind the scenes to the surprise of all.

The author stamps her authority on the romantic comedy genre in a truly Barrayaran style.
