Publisher Description

Miles Vorkosigan and his cousin Ivan are sent on a diplomatic mission to the court of the Cetagandan Empire, Barrayar's former enemy. This sophisticated, genetically advanced but in many ways alien society both fascinates and repels, and when the Cetagandan Empress and her attendant die suddenly, Miles and Ivan find themselves embroiled in intrigues. Ivan's romances and Miles' infatuation with a noble Cetagandan lady further complicate matters in this novel by four-time Hugo Award winner for best novel Lois McMaster Bujold. Publishers Weekly wrote of CETAGANDA: "Set in a vividly realized world where Machiavellian intrigues are played out behind a facade of aristocratic discretion, this novel … blends high adventure with wry commentary on the seemingly unbridgeable gulf between human ideals and political realities.

 

"Swashbuckling adventure laced with wry humor acts as a camouflage for the author's incisive and gentle irony in the latest addition to the popular "Vorkosigan" series." 

- Library Journal


"It's obvious by now that the wit, charm and headlong, impetuous genius of Miles Naismith Vorkosigan ... have transformed the stuff of standard military space opera into something far more delicious -- and addictive."

- Locus Magazine


“Bujold continues to prove what marvels genius can create out of basic space operatics.” 

- Library Journal


“Bujold is not just a master of plot, she is a master of emotion.” 

- SF Site 


“Bujold is one of the best writers of SF adventure to come along in years.” 

- Locus Magazine


“A superb craftsman and stylist, Ms. Bujold is well on her way to becoming one of the great voices of speculative fiction.”  

- Rave Reviews


“Bujold has a gift, nearly unique in science fiction, for the comedy of manners.”  

- Chicago Sun Times


“Superb far-future saga.” 

- Publishers Weekly on the 'Vorkosigan' series


Bujold's "work remains among the most enjoyable and rewarding in contemporary SF." 

- Publishers Weekly
