Rendition In Favor Of Books The Vor Game (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #6)

A buddy read with Choko and Maria.

Miles Vorkosigan graduated from the Military Academy despite his handicap. He hoped for a decent assignment, but his superiors thought he had an insubordination problem, so they decided a good way to fix it is to assign him to a remote place which in this case happened to be a military base on an island in the middle of nowhere, far in the north (read - cold).

First thing Miles did upon arriving was to insult the base Commander - albeit unintentionally. To be fair the Commander happened to be a real despot even by Barrayan standards, so Miles could not remain neutral for long.

Miles' adventures on the island constitute a story called Weatherman that was later incorporated in this novel - word by word.

The excitement started when the guy was removed from the base. Sufficient to say he ended up saving a couple of planets (including his own) and preventing a couple of wars. He ended up literally in the middle of the excitement without even trying, but getting beaten a lot in the process. My buddy readers mentioned that Miles' immediate superior officer can kiss their career good-by and I completely agree. Superior officers tend to end up trying - and failing - to clean up the mess the guy leaves in his wake.

The novel won a Hugo Award for Best Novel at the time when good writing and plot were more important than political leaning. To make a long story short the novel is good. Speaking about character development: Miles does first and foremost. I like the way the Barrayan Emperor was shown; unlike his previous appearance he behaved like a human being. Space battles, behind-the-scenes manipulations, people of the future with real human emotions and hopes, Miles overcoming yet another seemingly hopeless situation using just his head, good writing - what else a book need to be called good? Nothing; thus 4-star rating.

Article Appertaining To Books The Vor Game (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #6)

The Vor Game was a re-read for me, though my first experience with the novel is from a quarter century ago basically another lifetime. It seemed like the right book to dive into this week because the Hugo awards are today, and this was the first "real time" Hugo winner I read. 14-year-old me had read Hugo winners before (Dune, Rendezvous with Rama, Ender's Game), but at the time I was reading those well after they had won; The Vor Game was the first novel I read because it had JUST won the Hugo.

I'm marking this four stars only because Cordelia's Honor was five, and this isn't as good as that one (those two), but in a general range of excellence, five out of five, would read again."Miles, in one breath you just plotted to kill the emperor, cuckold him, accused your father of homosexuality, and suggested patricide. What's your encore?!""I wish I knew!"Jasmine and Stephanie reviewed this book saying they would die in a war for Gregor. I would absolutely die for Gregor. Poor little king.

This is the second of the Miles Vorkosigan books, though it's listed as the forth in the family saga. I was/am very impressed. My rating here is a considered one and I'm very close to a 5 here. I can't quite go there as there were a few false notes (I'll mention later) but all in all an excellent book and a great read. I'll say here in the first paragraph that I wholeheartedly recommend this one. So, what's good and what's bad? Well, you will find what I've come to believe is Lois McMaster

Another light and fun read about Miles Vorkosigan and his adventures, or shall I say misadventures? :) Troubles with the superiors as expected. Nice balance of both ground and space action with a good dose of humour. Interplanetary politics and space battles added enough sci-fi flavour to satisfy my appetite.On the whole very enjoyable light read.Recommended for sci-fi adventure and space opera fans.

This is my fav Miles so far. (I think I might be saying this after every book!) I thought there was a good mix between action and political intrigue, humour and poignancy, and a standalone plot if you wanted to read this out of order but still the forward momentum of the overarching series plot and formation of the characters.The books beginning sequences were fantastic. Miless first posting after graduating from military academy is at an isolated outpost at Barrayars arctic circle. He is sent

Incredible follow up to The Warrior's Apprentice. Miles is back in action.I am starting to realize Lois McMaster is a genius and she does no wrong.Love this as much as previous books and look forward to continue.
