SynopsisA NEW NOVEL IN THE AWARD WINNING SERIES FROM MULTIPLE NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR LOIS MCMASTER BUJOLD! Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan returns to the planet that changed her destiny. FUTURE TENSE Three years after her famous husband's death, Cordelia Vorkosigan, widowed Vicereine of Sergyar, stands ready to spin her life in a new direction. Oliver Jole, Admiral, Sergyar Fleet, finds himself caught up in her web of plans in ways he'd never imagined, bringing him to an unexpected crossroads in his career. Meanwhile, Miles Vorkosigan, one of Emperor Gregor's key investigators, this time dispatches himself on a mission of inquiry, into a mystery he never anticipated - his own mother. Plans, wills, and expectations collide in this sparkling science-fiction social comedy, as the impact of galactic technology on the range of the possible changes all the old rules, and Miles learns that not only is the future not what he expects, neither is the past.

one to many trips to the well
Grandpa always said you've made to many trips to the well when your bucket starts coming up full of mud. The Miles Vorkosigan Series is without a doubt my favorite series, and Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen is without a doubt the worst book in that series. Fans of Mrs. Bujold will be bitterly disappointed in this, one can only say, drivel. Characters switch sexualities from homo to hetro to some weird amalgamation of the two quicker than the reader can say 'what the Hell?' Plot is thin to nonexistent. This reviewer is left to wonder if Mrs. Bujold desperately needed money or if she truly felt this steaming pile of dung was a worthy conclusion to the best space opera ever written. Fans of the Miles Vorkosigan Series should NOT read this book, it will only bring you pain. You have been warned.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Cordelia returns!
My favorite LMB character is Cordelia Naismith, who returns triumphantly as Vicereinne of Sergyar, where she first met Aral so many years ago. Now she may have a second chance at happiness, and to explore that genetic greed she experienced so long ago on Barrayar.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Marvelous author
Terrific series; really great author. This is my fifth pass through the beginning books in the series. This book is the last of the series (so far, but it provides a nice book-end to the series, so I think it is the last). Do start at the beginning of the series!Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Exlibrary book!
Withdrawn from library-- has the typical library build, almost bombproof. The story is pure McMaster Bujold. She's telling a story based on characters and incidents in other books, and using it to explore in several directions. Decent stories with the usual depth. Good book; fits in well with the others.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Another sparkling addition to the Vorkosigan Saga!
I was eagerly awaiting the latest addition to the Vorkosigan series. True science fiction here folks! With topics such as seventy+ characters with rich sex lives! Love this intelligent and prolific writer with a bead on the "human" condition....Verified purchase: YesCondition: New

Great story-light
Great for a non-serious short read. I like this series and it is good before bed because for the most part the stories are fun, non-violent and elicit some through process without being very serious.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
