ONE CUNNING PLAN TOO MANY. . .

 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 . . . 

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.  He has a cunning plan . . .

Lord Mark Vorkosigan has a problem: his love for the sunny Kareen, daughter of Commodore Koudelka, has just become unrequited again.  But if all his new money can't solve their dilemma, perhaps a judicious blending of science and entrepreneurial scheming might.  He has a cunning plan . . .


"It's another winner with all kinds of unexpected adventures . . . Georgette Heyer has met her match for intrigue and STYLE! A sprightly conducted romance with twists and turns that could only happen in a Vorkosigan-inspired novel. . . . Boy, can she write!" 
—Anne McCaffrey

"Bujold successfully mixes quirky humor with just enough action, a dab of feminist social commentary and her usual superb character development in a sprightly SF romance . . . enormously satisfying."

    The assorted romances of some very 'human' people. They love, they laugh, they make mistakes and they make up. Very good.

    One of the most intelligent and deeply funny books I've read. Any of the Vorkosigan novels in this series is a guaranteed winner.

    One of the best books I've ever read, from one of my favourite authors. There is so much going on in this novel that re-reading makes it even better. Read it now.

    Did she ever write a bad story? I don't think so.
