This is the third omnibus book containing 3 works in the Vorkosigan Saga by Bujold: two novels, Cetaganda and Ethan of Athos and a short novella, "Labyrinth."

This is already quite a few novels into a novel with a complex universe, and so none of these are where I'd start, although Ethan of Athos is a rate standalone--in the same universe, but not featuring any of the Vorkosigan characters. The primary character in these series is Miles. Miles is born with near-crippling physical disabilities, short, brittle-boned and hunchbacked, into a military culture that prizes physical vitality and good looks. That means he has had to work hard for acceptance and respect--and to compensate for his physical drawbacks with a very canny mind. The man can talk his way into and out of almost everything, and that's a lot of what makes him fun to read about.

Cetaganda - This presents an interesting society on the planet Cetaganda--a very hierarchical and tightly controlled society. They're the traditional enemies and rivals of Mile's Barrayar, and Miles and his cousin Ivan are there as part of a diplomatic delegation attending a state funeral. While there Miles is caught up in a murder mystery that could bring war between their two planets and goes up to the highest levels of Cetaganda society. Like all the Vorkosigan stories I've read thus far, this is a fun, entertaining fast-paced read as well as a solidly written mystery.

Ethan of Athos - One of the aspects of Bujold's Vorkosigan universe is that this is an interstellar society with quite advanced reproductive technology including artificial wombs. On Athos, this technology has been used to create an all male society that censors the very existence of females they see as demonic. Ethan is sent out of that world in order to obtain new ovarian material to sustain their society. That makes things tricky in several ways--all the more because this was written in the 1980s. Because first and foremost this is a society with a misogynist basis--and certainly a homosexual one and written in an era when gay marriage and raising of families was unheard of. Yet Bujold manages to make Ethan very sympathetic, and lets him interact with a strong woman character in ways that while it does change how he sees women, doesn't change his basic orientation or that of his society--and doesn't do this in any heavy-handed way. Instead, like the other Vorkosigan books I've read, this is fun, entertaining, fast-paced action adventure. I have to tip my hat to that, even if I did miss Miles.

Labyrinth - This is a novella in the Vorkosigan Saga set between the events in Cetaganda and "The Borders of Infinity." Most of the Vorkosigan stories I've read thus far deal to a great extent on just what it means to be human, to be normal, and to be different. Miles himself is a test of those questions given he was born with physical deformities into a society that prized physical perfection. He's often touchy and bitter about those handicaps as a result. So it was interesting here to see him find a mirror and foil in Taura, an physically strong but emotionally vulnerable girl designed to be a warrior who wishes she was "normal." So when Miles tells her not to try to be normal, but the best she can be, I felt he was certainly speaking as much about and to himself as he was to her. Taura is definitely a character I hope we see again.(less)

This is another omnibus in the Vorkosigan Saga, comprising two novels, Cetaganda and Ethan of Athos, and one short story, Labyrinth. Overall this is not the best set in the series so far, but it is still worth reading at least once, particularly since all three books are thematically resonant with their themes of human sexuality and genetic modification.

Cetaganda is an in-depth look at the culture of Barrayar's nemesis, as well as a lampoon of typical James Bond hijinks. Casting the womanizing r...more

Probably not the best Vor story; but up to LMB's professional standard.

As I was reading story #2 "Ethan of Athos"; I realized it reminded me a lot of an A. Bertram Chandler Commodore Grimes story, "Spartan Planet".

1. The gimmick is the same; multi-generational all-male society that uses high-tech/bio-tech for reproduction.
2. The story is told from the POV of a "mainstream" character from the crazy all-male society. By mainstream, I mean that the character is an up-holder of his society, not a re...more

Still, both "Cetaganda" and "Ethan of Athos" take human sexuality to opposite and equally bizarre ends by creating a social structure in which a particular caste of women control the genes of the planet in the former and an all-male planet whose ovarian cultures are failing in the latter.

If you've read any of Bujold's other Vorkosigan books, you will not be disappointed by any of these. In fact, the deliberate expansion of the world into the Cetagandan empire, when all we knew from previous books is that they are powerful and warlike, is fascinating, though I think my favorite exploration was the world of Jackson's Whole in "Labyrinth," a place where anything can be had for the right price. I think "Labyrinth" is my favorite of these books, since the protagonist, Miles Vorkosigan, has a clear and important goal from the start, which is to help a scientist from one of the crime lord's laboratories defect to Miles's home planet of Barrayar. In "Cetaganda" he's supposedly there to observe the dowager empress's funeral (which he does, among other things...), and the titular Ethan of Athos ends up in the middle of a mystery not of his own making.

I think Bujold is at her best during these proactive moments, and "Labyrinth" is full of them. She also enjoys pulling the rug out from under reader's expectations, which she rarely does more perfectly than when Miles is thrown into a basement with an uncontrollable eight-foot tall super-soldier/monster that his enemies have been starving for days. I'll not say more on the subject and simply grin like a Cheshire cat.

If you're new to this series, I would suggest starting, if not at the beginning (Cordelia's Honor), with the introduction of Miles (Young Miles) rather than with this book. But it's all quite a bit of fun, and the next installment goes even farther.(less)

Cetaganda Miles' usual game plan is starting to annoy me: "I'll save the world without telling anybody what's happening!". This may be less annoying in publication order--I hope he mellows a bit with age! (Perhaps the later-written young Miles stories were partly a desire on Bujold's part to return to brash young Miles.) Otherwise this continues to be a lot of fun, with one of the more intricate and sophisticated plots so far. The Cetagandans finally get elevated from simple bogeymen to a real c...more

None of the Vorkosigan books stand alone, and these are no exception. They all fit together in a weird way without being overly reliant upon each other. On the other hand, these are less well bound together than the Young Miles books. Ethan of Athos doesn't even include Miles, though it's still exceptional, not least of all because of its intriguing example of sci-fi homosexuality. Cetaganda, on the other hand, is probably one of my favorite Vorkosigan novels because it showcases all of my favor...more

This book is a collection of two novels and a novella.

Cetaganda is my favorite, and worth 5 stars for that alone. Miles trying to figure out a mystery while learning about a completely alien culture reminds me of Asimov's robot novels (which are amongst my favorites of his). Thoroughly enjoyable.

Ethan of Athos is an interesting tale in the Vorkosigan universe, but without Miles as the protagonist. I'll admit to missing that character. The story is engaging with an interesting perspective on soci...more

This omnibus includes Cetaganda, Ethan of Athos, and a short novella, Labyrinth. I really liked this trio.

I had mixed feelings about Cetaganda. Miles rather irritated me in this one as he inserts himself/is thrust into solving a mystery singlehandedly. He has, to my opinion, rather dubious reasons for taking sole responsibility for the situation and I got a little frustrated with him at many points during the book. Of course Bujold does not have Miles act in this way by accident and by the end...more

Another excellent installment in the Miles series. I particularly enjoyed Ethan of Athos simply because she created such a internally consistent world (Athos) that managed to be unique among any I've read. I only dinged one star because the other two stories were not as good as some others in the series. Cetegana was a muddle of politics and it seemed clear what was going on so I was impatiently waiting for the normally clever Miles to catch on. The romance line was a snooze.

Ethan of Athos was particularly interesting in that it postulated a functioning all-male society that wasn't a military state or a complete disaster. The book doesn't spend all that much time there, and the title character's subsequent wibbling every time he encounters a female gets old long before it gets dropped, but it's still a neat concept.

Continuing my re-read of this whole series, and catching Ethan of Athos, which I missed the first time through.

Didn't like EoA as much as Cetaganda and 'Labyrinth', but still there's good stuff there. Reading them together allows you to spot the subplot threads and themes more easily.

Rereading 'Labyrinth' and Taura's intro makes me want to run out and grab Miles in Love to reread 'Winterfair Gifts' again. Not a bad reaction ;)

9/8/11: In the afterward to this collection (made up of Bujold's eleventh novel, 'Cetaganda,' third novel, 'Ethan of Athos,' written a decade apart, and a novella, 'Labyrinth,' written between the two) Bujold says that they connect not just based on the internal chronology of the series, but in that they all touch on issues of evolution, reproduction, bioethics and gender. And they do, while remaining very enjoyable stories as well.

Fun, full of great ideas, and very enjoyable, but in the end they don't leave as much with me as the other Vorkosigan stuff I've read (just as such a movie wouldn't leave me with as much as, say, a more deeply thoughtful or character-driven action movie). That isn't to say they're bad at all, and my rating probably has something to do with my expectations for the author... just that they each deal with a lot of big, interesting, and important issues, and then sort of end too soon or strangely, before that issue is wrestled with as much as it could be. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, though, as a fun story with the hint of some other stuff can be a perfectly good thing.

Cetaganda is a lot of fun because I actually like seeing Miles out of his mercenary milieu, and because it was fun to see so much of Ivan. But in the end, I wanted to learn more about Cetagandan culture (which was really interesting) and even now, not too long from when I read it, I don't remember the plot so much as I remember the ideas.

Ethan of Athos is probably the best at dealing with its respective ideas for the most part, as Bujold really gets into the head of a guy from an all-male, essentially anti-woman culture. It's great because he changes and lets his ideas evolve, but he never just does a full 180 and that's that (and he never actually finds a woman attractive). The characters and setting here are a lot of fun too, and I'm glad I read it even if Miles isn't in it, but again the plot didn't grab me as much as it should have, and resolution at the very, very end troubled me a bit. It felt like an attempt to put too much of a conclusion where no more was needed, and it dropped itself into more difficult territory.

Labyrinth is a good, quick, adventure-y story that feels a little more like a "standard" (or whatever) bit of the series--mostly an action adventure, but better as an action adventure than the first two. In return, the interesting ideas here didn't feel as fleshed out as the others, and the end devolved into preachiness for a few paragraphs. But that certainly isn't the end of the world.

A whole lot of fun, and definitely worth reading if you enjoy the world and Bujold's work--some neat ideas and perspectives are certainly on display--but not where I'd start.(less)

These three installments in Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga are something of a mixed bag. Although they follow on from each other in the general chronology the publication order was quite different and were published over the span of a decade or so. They all use the field of genetics to fuel the plot and themes.
In Cetaganda Miles tries his hand at another bit of detective work. He's on a diplomatic mission to Cetaganda with his 'a bit thick but handsome' cousin. He's not even off the shuttle before he's knee deep in intrigue, and murder, dodging potentially fatal traps as he goes. Spending time in Miles head is always enjoyable and fun. I also enjoyed trying to imagine how beautiful the Cetagandan Haut women were. Probably similar to trying to imagine what Galadriel looked like - an enjoyable exercise but ultimately a futile one.
Don't start Ethan of Athos thinking Miles is in it. You'll only be disappointed. The little guy is mentioned quite a bit though and one of the major characters is Elli Quinn, some might remember her from The Warrior's Apprentice. The main protagonist is this chap Ethan. He lives on a male only planet inhabited by blokes who live in superstitious dread of women (otherwise known as uterine replicators with legs). The fun starts when he has to leave his home planet in search of a replacement supply of ovarian cultures to replace the failing existing cultures, without which his society can't reproduce. Massive culture shock ensues (women everywhere). Ethan soon gets up to his neck in problems he's not really equipped to deal with, problems that he's going to have to rely on a woman to overcome. Enter Elli Quinn. It's all quite light hearted but very amusing.
Labyrinth is a novella which features Miles back at the helm of the Dendarii cruiser Ariel. Before too long everything goes pear-shaped and Miles finds himself in big trouble. And if being trapped in a dungeon with a sex mad teenage werewolf doesn't qualify as big trouble I don't know what does. As fun as ever but still finds time to ask a few questions about what it is to be different.(less)

I was a bit grossed out by the uterine replicators as they were used in Shards of Honor by the Betans. To casually and routinely avoid pregnancy? Just seemed unnatural and unnecessary.

But I love the way the same technology was applied in these three stories, and the ethics of it's use explored.

I wasn't quite as enthralled with Ethan of Athos at the start but Elli really grew on me as did the Athos culture.

The different worlds and cultures Bujold sets up are very interesting and I think that's the reason why I didn't like "Labyrinth" as much--it was a novella, so there was not as much time for her to develop the other world.

The third omimbus.

My favourate story is definately Miles and Ivan running around causing diplomtic chaos in Cetaganda.

Ethan of Athos is also an interesting twist on the battle of the sexes cliche that bandies around the SF fandom.

I guess that leaves Labyrinth as the weakest story in my view. Still, it's good fun! :)
