A Civil Campaign
A COMEDY OF BIOLOGY AND MANNERS
 ONE
CUNNING PLAN TOO MANY. . . ?
It’s spring in
Vorbarr Sultana, and a young person’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts
of love . . .
. .
. money . . . bio-genetics . . . love . . . lack of money . . .
incompatible planetary sexual mores . . . love . . . District succession
scandals . . . the Emperor’s wedding . . . and, of course, love . . .
Lord Miles Vorkosigan,
youngest Imperial Auditor to be appointed by the Emperor since the Time
of Isolation, has a problem all his new power can’t solve: unrequited
love for the beautiful Vor widow Ekaterin Vorsoisson.
Ekaterin is violently allergic to marriage as a result of her
first exposure. But as
Miles learned from his late career in galactic covert ops, if a frontal
assault won’t do, go to subterfuge.
He has a cunning plan . . .
Lord Mark Vorkosigan has a
problem: his love for the sunny Kareen, daughter of Commodore Koudelka,
has just become unrequited again. But
if all his new money can’t solve their dilemma, perhaps a judicious
blending of science and entrepreneurial scheming might.
He has a cunning plan . . .
"It’s
another winner with all kinds of unexpected adventures . . . Georgette
Heyer has met her match for intrigue and STYLE! A sprightly conducted
romance with twists and turns that could only happen in a Vorkosigan-inspired
novel. . . . Boy, can she write!”
—Anne McCaffrey
“Bujold
successfully mixes quirky humor with just enough action, a dab of
feminist social commentary and her usual superb character development in
a sprightly SF romance . . . enormously satisfying.”
