5.0 out of 5 stars Inside look at a genetic empire, June 30, 2000

Murder mysteriies are a great way to explore the inner workings of a society, whether it is in the English countryside or on a far off world. The Cetagandan Empire (long-time nemisis of Barrayar) is based on genetic manipulation. Mile Vorkosigan, one of the more interesting characters in Science Fiction, is on Cetaganda for an Imperial funeral, with the doltish Ivan Vorpatril, when a ba, an aide to the late Empress, is found dead, an apparent suicide. But on Cetaganda things are not always what they seem. Cetagandan society and culture are based on genetic enginering, and the motives, methods, and opportunities for murder are not like elsewhere. The characters are fascinating, richly drawn, and engaging. This book reminds me of CJ Cherryh, with its look into an alien culture based on cybernetics and genetic engineering, but unlike Cherry's darkly grim aspects this is light,airy, and still effective. A must read.

¡Great book! Miles finds himseld inmersed and constricted by an extrange culture, triying to solve a mystery without breaking the rules (too much). A marvellous new book in the life of Miles Vorkosigan.
