Between a racially fueled diplomatic dispute, the appearance of a hermaphroditic old flame, and a bizarre Cetagandan genetic conspiracy, Miles just can't seem to get a minute of peace with his new wife, the lovely and resourceful Ekaterin (whom Miles courted in <I>A Civil Campaign</I>). <p> Miles had hoped to give "hands-on op games" a rest once and for all, but when the Emperor urgently calls on him to resolve a "legal entanglement" in Quaddiespace, diplomacy alone might prove inadequate. (Quaddies, you'll remember, are the no-legged, four-armed free-fallers introduced in <I>Falling Free</I>.) Our newly minted Imperial Auditor almost immediately forgets all about "Baby's First Cell Division" (after the assignment comes in, Ekaterin quickly observes "You know, you keep claiming your job is boring, Miles, but your eyes have gone all bright"), but even Miles feels the heat after his diplomatic attempts devolve into a series of flattering assassination attempts. <p> Vorkosigan (and family now!) is as winning as ever, with Bujold offering up her usual fun mix of space-opera action and droll social commentary in a character-centered plot. And here's a bonus for Milesophiles and Vorkosiga novices alike: a book-by-book timeline detailing what trouble Miles got into and when. <I>--Paul Hughes</I> 2511259 book 2002 Diplomatic Immunity (Vorkosigan) total:1074|5:299|4:479|3:251|2:41|1:4| 1074 4250 1273 39 61901 0743468023 9780743468022 968 28 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170597852m/61901.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61901.Diplomatic_Immunity 5 1 false Sat Feb 02 09:17:16 -0800 2008 Sat Jan 31 14:21:03 -0800 2009 more...]]> 61901 0743468023 9780743468022 968 28 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1170597852m/61901.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/61901.Diplomatic_Immunity 2 0 false Fri Jun 05 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Sat May 30 16:05:10 -0700 2009 Sat Jun 06 18:56:22 -0700 2009 more...]]> 3465002 2290329479 9782290329474 2 1 3.96 http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3465002.Immunit_diplomatique 4 0 false Sun Aug 31 00:00:00 -0700 2003 Thu Jul 03 05:02:28 -0700 2008 Wed Oct 21 01:25:21 -0700 2009 more...]]> 1106507 0743435338 9780743435338 48 4 3.96 http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1181049611m/1106507.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1106507.Diplomatic_Immunity 3 0 true Thu Jun 19 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri May 23 12:34:51 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 20 12:07:39 -0700 2008
