Lois McMaster Bujold comes through again with another sharp Miles Vorkosigan novel. Komarr can be read as a stand-alone, though it is part of a whole series. (Komarr brings the total to 16 books!) Miles is a hugely popular character with fans--and they won't be disappointed with his latest adventure. The planet Komarr is undergoing centuries-long terraforming when one of the orbiting mirrors crucial to the effort is smashed by an off-course ship. Miles Vorkosigan is sent to Komarr to investigate the incident; once there, he becomes embroiled in political and scientific battles. To make matters worse, the name Vorkosigan is anathema on Komarr. But our intrepid hero can't be put down easily. While trying to save Komarr, he manages, maybe, to find true love at last! Bujold's original and intelligent blend of politics, science and cliffhanger space opera makes this book a satisfying adventure and a charming romance. --Therese Littleton

Boy does Miles fall in love quickly. I used to think that it was just a turn of phrase for a pretty girl, "Man, I'm in love!" But nope, it's the real thing for him. And although there's not a love connection in the book, the woman he meets sees him as a smart, funny man. Great series, I'm reading...
Following the resounding success of my Locus Quest, I faced a dilemma: which reading list to follow it up with? Variety is the spice of life, so I’ve decided to diversify and pursue six different lists simultaneously. This book falls into my GIFTS AND GUILTY list.Regardless of how many books are alr...
Following directly upon the events of 'Memory,' 'Komarr' still functions as a stand-alone novel.And... I liked it even better than 'Memory.' The plot felt more original, and it just has a really well-structured, exciting story, backed up by well-rounded, believable characters and a vivid, consistent...
Bujold gets inside of my head like few other authors have. Ekaterin's interior dialogue is searing, brilliant and heartbreaking. Miles is still delightful, if a little older and maybe, just maybe wiser. He's always been a genius, but now he's less apt to dive in without thinking.Gorgeous writing, el...
