DESCRIPTION:
J. Heivilin said Surrounded. A state funeral puts Miles and Ivan in the middle of their enemies when things get complex. Miles must decode Cetagandan society to save himself and Barrayar.. M. McCarthy said Miles & Ivan go to a funeral. Two empires won't be the same. Another great Miles Vorkosigan story and with the bonus of Ivan's participation. Narrator very clearly establishes unique voices for the characters.. "Bujold Does It Again" according to Dalton J. Fitzgerald. I was introduced to Lois McMaster Bujold by a fellow "quality sci fi" lover. She is absolutely exquisite. Rarely does one run across authors in this genre who can create highly developed and engaging characters in the context of the sorts of technical landscapes that science fiction is notable for. Add to that a flair for rollicking dark comedy, suspense,
. Miles must have suspected that it wasn't going to be dull after the bogus docking instructions and the odd man who launched himself into their ship and started to pull a weapon on them. Miles is stuck visiting Cetaganda with his doltish cousin Ivan, representing Barrayaran nobility at an Imperial funeral. Three attacks and a mysterious murder later, Miles is juggling two emperors, two secret services, and a half-dozen traitors--nd that's not even counting the women
When the same servant turns up dead the next day, Miles and Ivan find themselves in the middle of a mystery.. Upon arrival, the two men are inexplicably attacked by a servant of the late empress. When the Cetagandan empress dies, Miles Vorkosigan and his cousin Ivan are sent to Cetaganda for her funeral as diplomatic representatives of Barrayar
