An entertaining book about clones and how they fit (or fail to fit) into the social structure of different planets. The protagonist, a clone of an infamous military officer, impersonates that officer to lead a military strike to rescue another group of clones. Hijinks ensue. I was somewhat put off by what a terrible person the protagonist starts out as, but he has a lot of growth. A lot of characters and settings from previous books are used; probably not a good entry point for a new reader. There's a Shakespearian level of mistaken identities due to all the clones, which was quite fun. Overall I enjoyed it. ( ) Bráðskemmtileg saga og enn ein verðlaunasagan í Vorkosiganseríu Bujolds. Klóni Miles sem var skapaður til að eyða fyrirmynd sinni glímir nú við framtíð sína eftir að ætlunarverk hans mistókst. Hvað er hann eiginlega úr því að hann getur ekki komið í stað Miles? Hann ákveður að ræna geimskipi og áhöfn þess frá Miles og hefna sín á þeim sem sköpuðu hann en flestallt fer úrskeiðis sem getur farið úrskeiðis. Ekki batnar það þegar Miles reynir að bjarga liði sínu og úr verður ein alls herjar flækja sem betra er að greina ekki frá hér. no reviews | add a review

The dwarfish, fetally-damaged yet brilliant Miles Vorkosigan has more than his share of troubles. Having recently escaped an assassination plot whose tool was a brainwashed clone of himself, Miles has set the clone, Mark, free for a new chance at life. But when he decides to let his clone brother assume his secret identity and lead the Dendarii Free Mercenary on an unauthorized mission to liberate other clones from the outlaw planet of Jackson's Whole, things start to get really messy. The mission goes awry, Miles's rescue attempt goes even more wrong, and Miles ends up killed and placed in cryogenic suspension for future resuscitation. Then, as if that weren't bad enough, the cryo-container is lost! Now it is up to the confused, disturbed Mark to either take Miles's place as heir of the Vorkosigan line or redeem himself by finding and saving Miles. No library descriptions found. |
