DESCRIPTION:
A perfect ending Alva I read this when it first came out and would have given it four stars: good, but not great, and missing all the beloved characters and side kicks from earlier books. I just read it again after re-reading the entire series in one stretch. This time I was moved and impressed. The entire story arc became clear, and this last book unerringly draws the series to a perfectly drawn conclusion.In this final book, Bujold begins with Miles, alone and drugged into confusion in an underworld. If you sense Miles will rise again into planet saving, you would be right. Bujold gives us Miles Alone -- wiitho. Cissa said Another exciting Miles adventure!. I love Bujold's writing in general, and her space opera remains my favorite space opera ever!This is an excellent installment, albeit with a sobering end after all the shenanigans are resolved.One planet is seriously into cryotechnology, to the point where it drives the economy. And while people are frozen, their assets- and votes- are held by the company that froze them, to their profit economically and politically. When one of these companies wants to expand to Komarr- a planet belonging to the Empire- Emperor Gregor asks Miles to look into things.Of course, complications ensue, and Miles . a romp and meditation on the end of life This book contains another madcap adventure, that is until it's completion, when it's profound and soulful end turns it from a romp into a meditation.One of my favorite things about author Bujold is the way she places thoughts that are meaningful and true scattered like jewels amidst what seems adventurous and entertaining. In this installment of the the adventures of Miles, we initially find our hero drugged and disordered, after his own blotched kidnaping. He is rescued by a child who proceeds to become a participant in the investigation into cryogenics that Miles has been sent to conduct.
Only five days after arriving on Kibou-daini for a cryonics conference, interplanetary diplomat Miles Vorkosigan narrowly escapes kidnapping. . From Publishers Weekly Fans have been clamoring for Hugo winner Bujold to pen a new Vorkosigan Saga novel since 2002's Diplomatic Immunity, and they will not be disappointed by this thoughtful tale. Bujold introduces appealing characters to join familiar ones in exploring the ramifications of a planet-wide culture of postponing death, and her deft and absorbing writing easily corrals the complex plot and softens the blow of a tear-jerking conclusion. Under imperial orders to investigate the shady dealings of the cryo cartels, Miles connects the far-flung pieces and exposes a sneaky plot. All rights reserved. Drugged, dazed, and alone, he is taken in by Jin Sato, whose mother was the leader of a cryonics reform movement until bein
Here he finds a young boy with a passion for pets and a dangerous secret, a Snow White trapped in an icy coffin who burns to rewrite her own tale, and a mysterious crone who is the very embodiment of the warning ''Don't mess with the secretary.'' Bribery, corruption, conspiracy, kidnapping -- something is rotten on Kibou-daini, and it isn t due to power outages in the Cryocombs. Miles Vorkosigan is back! Kibou-daini is a planet obsessed with cheating death. Barrayaran Imperial Auditor Miles Vorkosigan can hardly disapprove -- he's been cheating death his whole life, on the theory that turnabout is fair play. On Kibou-daini, Miles discovers generational conflict over money and resources is heating up, even as refugees displaced in time skew the meaning of ''generation'' past repair. And Miles is in the middle -- of trouble!. But when a Kibou-daini cryocorp -- an immortal company whose job it is to shepherd its all-too-mortal frozen patrons into an unknown future -- attempts to expand its franchise into the Barrayaran Empire, Emperor Gregor dispatches his top troubleshooter, Miles, to check it out
