  <default_description>Lois McMaster Bujold comes through again with another sharp Miles Vorkosigan novel. &lt;I&gt;Komarr&lt;/I&gt; can be read as a standalone, though it is part of a whole series. (&lt;I&gt;Komarr&lt;/I&gt; brings the total to 16 books!)  Miles is a hugely popular character with fans--and they won't be disappointed with his latest adventure. &lt;p&gt; The planet Komarr is undergoing centuries-long terraforming when one of the orbiting mirrors crucial to the effort is smashed by an off-course ship.  Miles Vorkosigan is sent to Komarr to investigate the incident; once there, he becomes embroiled in political and scientific battles. To make matters worse, the name Vorkosigan is anathema on Komarr.  But our intrepid hero can't be put down easily. While trying to save Komarr, he manages...  maybe... to find true love at last!  Bujold's original and intelligent blend of politics, science, and cliffhanging-good space opera makes this book a satisfying adventure and a charming romance. &lt;I&gt;--Therese Littleton&lt;/I&gt; </default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[I have a confession to make. I am not capable of objectivity when it comes to these books, so please don't expect it. You might get me to admit that this wasn't the greatest of the Vorkosigan books, but I still enjoyed it so much that I can't imagine giving it anything other than 5 stars.

He's really growing on me, although I suspect by the time I get to the Admiral Naismith years, I'll find that part of him somewhat grating, at complete odds with all the disgusted reviews I've read of t...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/21351503">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I stand by what I said: death *was* too good for Tien, but it was just the sort of release Ekaterin needed. I'd have suggested a good bitch-slapping, but it's clear it would have done absolutely no good. <br/><br/>I love Miles.

    <body><![CDATA[Miles meets Ekaterin; well, OK, so he's also saving the empire from Komarran terrorists, but that's old hat for him. You can start reading any Vorkosigan book at any time, but if you know a little about Miles' world and his adventures, it really enhances the experience.
