Narration During Books Captain Vorpatril's Alliance (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #15)

Captain Ivan Vorpatril is happy with his relatively uneventful bachelor’s life as a staff officer to a Barrayaran admiral. Cousin to imperial troubleshooter Miles Vorkosigan, Ivan is not far down the hereditary list for the emperorship. Thankfully, new heirs have directed that headache elsewhere, leaving Ivan to enjoy his life on Komarr, far from the byzantine court politics of his home system. But when an old friend in Barrayaran intelligence asks Ivan to protect an attractive young woman who may be on the hit list of a criminal syndicate, his chivalrous nature takes over. It seems danger and adventure have once more found Captain Vorpatril.

Tej Arqua and her half-sister and servant Rish are fleeing the violent overthrow of their clan on free-for-all planet Jackson’s Whole. Now it seems Tej may possess a secret of which even shemay not be aware—a secret that could corrupt the heart of a highly regarded Barrayaran family and provide the final advantage for the thugs who seek to overthrow Tej’s homeworld. But none of Tej’s formidable adversaries have counted on Ivan Vorpatril. For behind Ivan’s façade of wry and self-effacing humor lies a true and cunning protector who will never leave a distressed lady in the lurch—making the ultimate sacrifice to keep her from harm: the treasured and hard-won freedom from his own fate as a scion of Barrayar.

Write Up Containing Books Captain Vorpatril's Alliance (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #15)
Or as I have been calling it for over a year, How Do You Solve a Problem Like Ivan Vorpatril?.Which was a little bit snide of me. Apologies to anyone who was there in June when I co-modded a panel and have already heard me going on about Bujolds tendency to solve peoples lives like equations. Who is your perfect mate, what is your perfect challenge? What is the thing that balances you? How can we write the equals sign, reduce you to a simpler function, and be done with it? Which is both true and

I'm not up to a review, so some quick notes.- Loved this.- A slow build which seemed odd in a "Vorkosigan" novel, until I remembered it was an Ivan novel and realised it was just right.- By setting the book earlier than the one before, there was a nagging worry right through that (view spoiler)[Ivan and Tej might not stay married because we didn't know he was married in CryoBurn (hide spoiler)] but it was managed perfectly.- I really liked the way absolutely nothing here was contradicted by

This years Vorkosigan novel is up for a Hugo nomination. The previous book, also a Hugo nominee, was my first exposure to Lois McMaster Bujolds sprawling and successful series, although I wasnt as impressed as I wanted to be. I went on to read the first two books, though, and those provided a firmer grounding in the series, not to mention better stories. Im also glad I read them before reading Captain Vorpatrils Alliance. This book makes some allusions to the characters and events of the first

Every time someone says that there are no good female authors in science-fiction I want to lock them in a room with the entire Vorkosigan saga (is that still right, now that Ivan has a book of his own? He's not a Vorkosigan, is he) and after they're done with the series say why, you're welcome, this has been a book appreciation post. Ok, I can see why some people might not like Bujold. She's not as austere or sober as lots of other science-fiction authors, but to me, that just means that her

3.5 stars. Rounding down to differentiate from the strong 4 or 4+ stars for most of the series. This is sort of a one-off in the series, not only featuring a secondary, though, character, but also not adding anything necessary to the series as a whole. The book lacks the more focused writing, compelling plot, and real food for thought of most of the series. A few too many whimsical and distracting asides. Not quite enough point to the protagonist, who was likable and familiar but mostly took up

Well, this was satisfying on so many levels. A new Vorkosigan book is a rare sighting, and is therefore accompanied by rather high expectations on my part. And this was Ivan's book. Ivan, who has been in Miles' shadow for so long, and always cast in the role of (very) unfortunate sidekick (summary version: "Ivan, you idiot"). Ivan, who we all knew had to have hidden depths - it takes incredible talent to be dismissed as amiable but useless when you're so closely related to the Vorkosigans, and a

I bought the electronic advance reader's copy as soon as it went on sale; I am a little irrational about any book about Ivan that doesn't do a prompt nosedive into the carpet. For that reason, I originally thought this would be a terrible introduction to the series for a newcomer, since there wouldn't be any anticipatory build-up about Ivan, who played a supporting role in most of the Vorkosgian Saga. But Bujold makes a visible effort to let him shine in his own corner of the universe without
