![]() This wasn’t at all the space-cadet shoot-em-up I’d been half-expecting. I wasn’t that far off in my expectations for the redoubtable Cordelia Naismith, but I couldn’t have been more wrong about Vorkosigan. And Vorkosigan? Well, obviously, with a name like that he was going to be some kind of horribly overweight, slug-like sadist: a cross between Jabba the Hut and Baron Harkonnen from Dune. Obviously said heroine would be something like Ripley from Alien: tough, resourceful and determined. Plucky heroine on alien planet falls into the clutches of her enemy, the infamous Lord Vorkosigan. After reading the back, I thought I had it pegged. ![]() All I knew about the Vorkosigan Saga was that it was evidently sci-fi. ![]() I didn’t know what to expect when I started reading this book, which was from a series I’d never heard of, by an author I’d never read. ![]()
