When the Cetagandan empress dies, Miles Vorkosigan and his cousin Ivan are sent to Cetaganda for her funeral as diplomatic representatives of Barrayar. Upon arrival, the two men are inexplicably attacked by a servant of the late empress. When the same servant turns up dead the next day, Miles and Ivan find themselves in the middle of a mystery.

Miles tries to play detective in a strange, complicated, and deceptively alien culture, while lascivious Ivan manages to get himself involved with several noble females at the same time, a diplomatic no-no of the first order. As the plot thickens, it becomes clear that it's up to Miles to save the empire.

With her usual skill, Bujold addresses timeless issues of human identity through the personal dramas of her characters.

Eleştirmen yorumları

"Set in a vividly realized world where Machiavellian intrigues are played out behind a facade of aristocratic discretion, this novel, like its predecessors, blends high adventure with wry commentary on the seemingly unbridgeable gulf between human ideals and political realities." (Publishers Weekly)

"[Even] readers who normally eschew science fiction will delight in Bujold's intriguing plots, appealing characters, and wry humor." (Library Journal)

"As witty and well-handled as is usual for Bujold....In the wake of Bujold's new Hugo, even greater swarms of readers will flock to this book and swell even more the number of her fans, which is only what she richly deserves." (Booklist)

I find Ceteganda society totally creepy but I admit that now I want a Haut wife too :-(

I'm such a fan of Lois McMaster Bujold I find it hard to believe her books need recommending to anyone, as they ought to recommend themselves. This is part of the Vorkosigan saga, but can be read independently. Smart, funny, with a central mystery that pulls you along, and a reader who, you can tell, loves his job.

Classic, fun sci-fi

This is a fantastic book. Lois McMaster Bujold can REALLY write, and the narration of Grover Gardner perfectly brings the book to life. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys elegant, entertaining prose.

Wonderful Miles!

I've enjoyed everything that Louis McMaster Bujold has published, and I think that Miles Vorkosigan is one of the great comic/dramatic heroes of recent literature. Nevertheless, Cetaganda was never my favourite of his adventures. That has changed since hearing this reading of it. The narrator brings out all the dry comedy of narrative, and the detective elements unfold very effectively. Overall, this is a superb reading of an excellent story (but if you're going to buy it, it probably makes sense to start with 'Warrior's Apprentice' which is the first Vorkosigan novel available from Audible).

Superb

I particularly loved this book. It was my favourite of the miles novels by far. It was just a very unusual and interesting plot. Ceteganda is a very interesting place and there are some very different characters from the other books. As always miles ends up in the most complex of situations and this is probably more so than most that he encounters.

Super awesome plot and great part of the saga
