The Vor Game by Lois McMaster Bujold

Hardcover – NESFA Press – Feb 2010 – 376 pages

The Vor Game continues Miles Vorkosigan’s story as he graduates from the Imperial Military Academy (putting it after Mountains of Mourning and before Cetaganda in the internal, Vorkosiverse chronology)

Miles, of course, does his best to salvage the situation, but, as always, there’s a surprise…
