August 2019 reread was via the omnibus "Miles, Mutants and Microbes" rather than the audiobook. **Warning: this text may contain spoilers** 3.5 stars for the book. I found this one a bit slow going at the beginning although it certainly had plenty of action by the end!! It was nice to find that Bel Thorne had ended up with Nicol after all makes me glad that I had taken the time to reread Labyrinth before reading this one.. Grover Gardner again gives a stellar narration. Una rica flota mercante komarresa ha sido incautada en la estación Graf, en el distante Quaddiespace, después de un sangriento incidente en los muelles de la estación que involucró a un oficial de seguridad de la escolta militar barrayaresa del convoy. Lord Miles Vorkosigan de Barrayar y su esposa, Lady Ekaterin, tienen otras cosas en mente, como llegar a casa a tiempo para asistir al tan esperado nacimiento de sus primeros hijos. Pero cuando el deber llama en la voz del Emperador Gregor de Barrayar, Miles, el Auditor Imperial más joven de Gregor (un solucionador de problemas especial de alto nivel) no tiene más remedio que responder. Diplomatic Immunity is part of the science fiction Vorkosigan series that features the undersized Miles Vorkosigan in his many space adventures. In this outing we are invited to participate in the last few days of Miles and his new wife Lady Ekaterin’s honeymoon. They are eager to get home to attend the birth of their first two children. But while still days away from arrival, Barrayar’s Emperor Gregor, calls upon Miles, his Imperial Auditor, to make a side-trip to attend to a diplomatic crisis. A Komarran merchant fleet has been impounded at Graf Station, after an incident involving a missing Barrayaran security officer. This was further escalated by the behaviour of the Barrayaran military who ran rough-shod over the civilians. This area is controlled by Quaddies, a race of genetically engineered, four armed humans and Miles must step carefully to avoid giving further insult. Unfortunately the incident soon becomes one of mass murder, kidnapping, biological warfare and genetic politics taking all of Mile’s skills and knowledge to find a solution that will please all parties. While I didn’t enjoy this story as much as the previous entry, A Civil Campaign, Diplomatic Immunity was still an excellent read with some great new as well as some familiar and well known characters, a fascinating setting and lots of action. As a long time fan, I am thrilled to see Miles and Ekaterin happy in their marriage and with each other. Diplomatic Immunity proved to be another winner in the excellent Vorkosigan series.

Premis
A rich Komarran merchant fleet has been impounded at Graf Station in distant Quaddiespace after a bloody incident involving the convoy's Barrayaran military escort. Lord Miles Vorkosigan and his wife, Lady Ekaterin, have other things on their minds, such as getting home in time to attend the long-awaited births of their first children. But when duty calls in the voice of Barrayar's Emperor Gregor, Miles, as imperial auditor, has no choice but to answer. Waiting on Graf Station are diplomatic snarls, tangled loyalties, old friends, new enemies, racial tensions, lies and deceptions, mysterious disappearances, and a race with time for life against death in horrifying new forms. The downside of being a high-level troubleshooter comes when trouble starts shooting back. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
