MAJOR SPOILERS
Cryoburn by Lois McMaster Bujold is Lois's first new Miles Vorkosigan novel in years. And it's really good, as all her Miles novels -- a mystery, action, and humor. The book has less humor than other books, however, especially A Civil Campaign, which I would have wondered about until I got to the end -- where the book hits you with a kick in the teeth.
MAJOR SPOILERS BELOW (I will try to place this under an LJ-cut).
( Major Spoilers below - you have been warned! )
For another note. Miles also doesn't seem to really see himself as Lord Vorkosigan either -- but as Miles. Neither does he realise that while he's going at Warp 10, everyone else is going Warp 1, if that. This is a man, who, attempted to get into the military academy on his home planet by asking that his written exam scores be averaged against his physical scores. Because his written scores would be so HIGH they'd offset his lack of physical prowess due to his his brittle bones and medical problems.
Sorry about the rambling.
More Later,
