Bujold Cetaganda (Bujold, Lois Mcmaster. Vorkosigan Adventure.)
Baen January 1, 1996 0-671-87701-1 / 9780671877019 Hardcover Very Good
The power to engineer a civilization's genetic destiny fosters new variatio ns on old struggles for political power in this entertaining space-operatic entry in Bujold's long-running Vorkosigan saga. Miles Vorkosigan, hero of Mirror Dance (winner of the 1995 Hugo Award for Best Novel), is on a diplom atic mission to represent his home planet at the funeral of the dowager emp ress of the Cetaganda empire when an encounter with an assailant leaves him with a piece of computer software. This proves to be a bogus duplicate of a key to the Cetagandan genome, which each new empress manipulates to produ ce offspring. With the help of a member of Cetaganda's matriarchal ruling h aut, Miles and his cousin Ivan dodge inventive assassination attempts to de termine which of the empire's eight governors has tried to pin this "theft" on them in the hope of usurping control of the genome. With her usual skil l, Bujold addresses timeless issues of human identity through the personal dramas of her characters, most notably Miles, a deformed mutant whose insec urities afford him insight but sometimes obstruct his investigations. Set i n a vividly realized world where Machiavellian intrigues are played out beh ind a facade of aristocratic discretion, this novel, like its predecessors, blends high adventure with wry commentary on the seemingly unbridgeable gu lf between human ideals and political realities.

Bujold Memory (Vorkosigan Saga/Bujold, Lois McMaster)
Baen October 1, 1996 0-671-87743-7 / 9780671877439 Hardcover Very Good
Miles turns 30, and--though he isn't slowing down just yet--he is starting to lose interest in the game of Wall: the one where he tries to climb the w all, fails, gets up, and tries again. Having finally reached a point in his life where he can look back and realize that he has managed to prove his c ourage and competence, he can move on to bigger and better things. Depending on how you count it, this is the eighth, ninth, tenth, or eleventh book in a series--not all are about Miles or even his extended family. A good place to start is with the first Vorkosigan story, Shards of Honor.

Bujold, Lois McMaster Paladin of Souls
HarperTorch April 26, 2005 0-380-81861-2 / 9780380818617 Paperback Fine
In this sequel to The Curse of Chalion (2001), rich in sumptuous detail and speculative theology, dowager royina Ista Dy Baocia undertakes a pilgrimag e to ease her soul-and finds instead that in Chalion, Bujold's handsomely c rafted fantasy world ruled by Five Gods "just around some strange corner of perception," a more dangerous fate awaits than she could ever have imagine d. Swordplay and sorcery sweep sensitive, sensible 40-year-old Ista into Ch alion's border stronghold of Porifors, where enemy Roknari incursions and d emons from the Fifth God's hell threaten Ista's realm, held precariously at bay by the charismatic Arhys dy Lutez. Ista's romantic quest to save Arhys and his magnetic half-brother, Illvin, teems with equal parts of unearthly magic and down-to-earth quasi-medieval lore. Despite an occasional lapse i nto adolescent angst and spurts of superficial dialogue, high fantasy fans should thrill at Ista's spiritual perils, while horse admirers of all ages should savor even Ista's saddle sores. This engaging installment of Chalion 's mythical history whets the appetite for new marvels yet to come.
