ONE CUNNING PLAN TOO MANY...?<P>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 ...<P>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.

The best book of an amazing series, this one culminates all the best features or the "Vorko-verse". Miles at his best and worst, plus lots of time with old and new beloved characters; this one I love especially because it's set on Barrayar, instead of out in space. When I first read it I literally finished it, flipped it around, and started reading it again.
