Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan returns to the planet that changed her destiny in a new novel by multiple New York Times best-selling author Lois McMaster Bujold.
Future imperfect: Three years after her famous husband's death, Cordelia Vorkosigan, widowed vicereine of Sergyar, stands ready to spin her life in a new direction. Oliver Jole, admiral, Sergyar Fleet, finds himself caught up in her web of plans in ways he'd never imagined, bringing him to an unexpected crossroads in his life. Meanwhile, Miles Vorkosigan, one of Emperor Gregor's key investigators, this time dispatches himself on a mission of inquiry into a mystery he never anticipated - his own mother.
Plans, wills, and expectations collide in this sparkling science fiction social comedy as the impact of galactic technology on the range of the possible changes all the old rules, and Miles learns that not only is the future not what he expects - neither is the past.

Geschichte
Leo Graf was just your average highly efficient engineer: mind your own business, fix what's wrong, and move on to the next job. But all that changed on his assignment to the Cay Habitat, where a group of humanoids had been secretly, commercially bioengineered for working in free fall. Could he just stand there and allow the exploitation of hundreds of helpless children merely to enhance the bottom line of a heartless mega-corporation?

The half-mad Prince Boleso has been slain by a noblewoman he had intended to defile. It falls to Lord Ingrey kin Wilfcliff to transport the prince to his burial place and to bring the accused killer, Lady Ijada, to judgment. The road he travels with his burden and his prisoner is fraught with danger. But in the midst of political chaos, magic has the fiercer hold on Ingrey's destiny, and Ijada herself may turn out to be the only one he dares trust.

Geschichte
Our universe is ruled by physics, and faster-than-light travel is not possible - until the discovery of The Flow, an extradimensional field we can access at certain points in space-time that transports us to other worlds, around other stars. Humanity flows away from Earth, into space, and in time forgets our home world and creates a new empire, the Interdependency, whose ethos requires that no one human outpost can survive without the others. It's a hedge against interstellar war - and a system of control for the rulers of the empire.

Nur für Fans
Ob man ein Buch von Lois McMasters Bujold liest, oder von Grover Gardner vorgetragen bekommt: es macht einfach einen Riesen-Unterschied! Die Leichtigkeit und der Humor mit der die Geschichte vorgetragen wird hebt die Stimmung beim Zuhörer und man taucht ein in eine fremde Welt.
Rein vom Inhalt her ist das hier ist die erste Geschichte im ganzen Vorkossigan-Zyklus ohne politische Verschwörung die der Held/Heldin aufdecken und einer Lösung zuführen muss. Hier passiert eigentlich gar nichts außer der Familiengeschichte die sonst den amüsanten Hintergrund der Handlung bildet.
Alles nett und amüsant, aber im Grunde merkt man dass etwas fehlt. So gesehen ist dieses Buch eher nur für echte Fans der Serie wirklich geeignet, denn die vielen Anspielungen setzen gute Kenntnis der Serie voraus.
Neueinsteiger seien auf frühere Bände der Serie verwiesen.

Misses the thrill of the earlier books
Was hat Ihnen am meisten an Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen gefallen? Was am wenigsten?
Still a typical Lois McMaster-Bujold book from the Vorkosigan series - this is the weakest of the series. It lacks the unexpected plot twists. It is more fiction than science fiction.However, the story features some interesting sociocritical discussions on consequences of in vitro fertilization and the application of uterine replicators.
About the speaker: Grover Gardner is still one of my favourite voice actors.
