5.0 out of 5 stars A true hero!!!, July 11, 1997

By A Customer

This review is from: Cetaganda (Hardcover)

For the first book to be read in the Vorkosigan series, this book is truly a masterpiece for Lois McMaster Bujold. You don't have to read the prequels to Miles Vorkosigan to understand his character and situation.

In Cetaganda, Miles is faced with a political overthrow while trying to "soak" up cultural awareness on the orders of Emperor Gregor. Little did he know that he would be swept into a beautiful lady's court, a police officer's suspect list, a Cetagandan's assassination list, and the Cetagandan culture itself.

But true to the Vorkosigan nature, Miles became the hero of an empire; but, it just wasn't the empire he was expecting

This review is from: Cetaganda (Hardcover)

This is another entertaining book in the Vorkosigan series. The part that appealed to me most is the new worlds and civilizations that Bujold dreams up and how the hero deals with them. All the worlds have human beings, but the cultures are different, even bizarre, but always entertaining.
