Ilustration During 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.

Criticize Out Of 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.

UPDATED 2017.04.02 with Worst Cover Gallery - check down below and feel free to comment!_______________________________I got lazy. Very, very lazy. This will keep my review super-short. Which is not a bad thing, eh?I enjoyed the book, it was fun and entertaining, with smart dialogues and interesting characters. I missed Cordelia in this book a bit though. I know, it's all about Miles now and he was perfect in his unique Milesy way, but still. Oh well. At least finally we get to know Gregory not

Great reader, tangled web, & Miles is like a spastic spider running through it all. It's a lot of fun as Miles deals with his insubordination issues - not particularly well as most would guess. He does try hard, though. It's not his fault they give him the wrong orders. (His words, not mine.)It's a series & if you want to find out more about it, I suggest you read it in chronological order. The list is here:http://www.goodreads.com/series/98254...It's much better than the published

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 review is for my reread of the Vorkosigan Saga with SpecFic Buddy Reads during 2017/18. This is the first of the Miles novels that I haven't read before, and there's quite a few from here that will be new to me as well. I originally picked up the series from Memory.Miles Vorkosigan has graduated the Imperial Military Academy and looks set for a bright future of military service as long as he develops some important basic officer skills. To this end he gets sent to a small frozen military

The Vor Game: Another madcap Miles adventureThis was another fast-paced, well-balanced, and very enjoyable adventure centering on Miles, his cousin Ivan, the Dendarii mercenaries, some very villainous villains (including a very clever and calculating femme fatale), and even young Emperor Gregor thrown into the mix. Once again Miles finds himself stumbling from one disastrous situation to another, always managing to squeak by his wits alone, knowing how to manipulate and outsmart rather than
