In The Vor Game, we see our favorite protagonist, Miles Vorkosigan graduate from the Academy, where he then joins a mutiny, is placed under house arrest, goes on a secret mission, reconnects with his loyal Dendarii Mercenaries, rescues his Emperor, and thwarts an interstellar war. You know - Miles being a typical badass.
The first several chapters of The Vor Game (chapter 1 through part of chapter 6) were originally published in a slightly different form as a novella entitled "The Weatherman" in the February 1990 issue of Analog magazine.The story covers Miles's assignment to Kyril Island through his arrest and the beginning of his detention at ImpSec. This part I found to be a bit slow. But, once Miles is placed under house arrest - things really pick up.Miles gets in way over his head, makes a bunch of seat-of-the-pants decisions, manages to be a little smarter than everyone else, and pulls out an elegant solution in the end to rescue Emperor Gregor and repel a surprise attack by a Cetagandan invasion fleet.
The Vor Game delivers a typical Miles Vorkosigian story. The story is good, fast-moving political intrigue and maneuvering, with satisfying complexity and lots of fun characters.
I’m excited to ready the next book in the series.
