Diplomatic Immunity by Lois McMaster Bujold. A Miles Vorkosigan adventure. 367 pp.
A new book in this series is due out this fall--yay!!--so I thought I'd re-read the most recent entry, which was just as awesome as I remembered. Here is a series that has changed quite a bit over its length--the circumstances of the main character, Miles, have changed drastically, yet he is recognizably the same person. Miles is a character with some pretty deep flaws who is nevertheless remarkably sympathetic. In this iteration he is on a delayed honeymoon with his wife Ekaterin when he is pressed into his Emperor's service as Imperial Auditor to prevent a shooting war in Quaddiespace. As usual, things get more complex once Miles gets involved, not less, but he manages to triumph yet again.
