DESCRIPTION:
Vorkosigan (and family now!) is as winning as ever, with Bujold offering up her usual fun mix of space-opera action and droll social commentary in a character-centered plot. Between a racially fueled diplomatic dispute, the appearance of a hermaphroditic old flame, and a bizarre Cetagandan genetic conspiracy, Miles just can't seem to get a minute of peace with his new wife, the lovely and resourceful Ekaterin (whom Miles courted in A Civil Campaign). (Quaddies, you'll remember, are the no-legged, four-armed free-fallers introduced in Falling Free.) Our newly minted Imperial Auditor almost immediately forgets all about
-- Waiting on Graf Station are diplomatic snarls, tangled loyalties, old friends, new enemies, racial tensions, lies and deceptions, mysterious disappearances, and a race with time for life against death in horrifying new forms. The downside of being a high-level troubleshooter comes when trouble starts shooting back.. But when duty calls in the voice of Barrayar's Emperor Gregor, Miles, as imperial auditor, has no choice but to answer. Lord Miles Vorkosigan and his wife, Lady Ekaterin, have other things on their minds, such as getting home in time to attend the long-awaited births of their first children.

On with The Vor Games, With Romance! Kindle Customer I am a Vor fan, have all of the books, mostly in hardcover, and have downloaded most on to my Kindle. Mile's search for a Lady Vorkosigan has gained a bit of momentum in the last books, he is a Vorkosigan, after all, I knew if he picked Barrayar it would be a matter only of time before a wife became a major issue. After a Love Story that begins in Murder and Mayhem, is pursued in intrigue, & events that bring social farce to a new height, we fin. "A series for the ages. A thinking person’s delight." according to book guy. I'm going to post the same review for the entire Vorkosigan saga. MANY years ago (shudder to think - we only had books made of paper) I was stuck at an airport with nothing to read. The only book I could find in the store was named Cordelia's Honor. It was about a woman and written by a woman. From what I could discern from the cover, it was a combination of books from some sort of "Vor" series. With no intent to offend anyone, for me back in th. "It is time for Bujold to return to Miles!" according to Niki. I bought Diplomatic Immunity a while back. Knowing I will be hooked and not just satisfied with one book, I held off reading it until another new book on Miles is available. Strange reason, maybe.However after the disappointing Hallowed Hunt, I just need to reassure myself that Bujold is still a great writer. I am not disappointed. Diplomatic Immunity may not be the best of the Miles series but it is still a great read and definitely heads above
