Synopsis
A new installment in the New York Times best-selling, award-winning Vorkosigan science fiction adventure series. Book Fourteen in the best-selling Vorkosigan series. GOOD INTENTIONS, BAD INTEL Captain Ivan Vorpatril sometimes thinks that if not for his family, he might have no troubles at all. But he has the dubious fortune of the hyperactive Miles Vorkosigan as a cousin, which has too-often led to his getting dragged into one of Miles' schemes, with risk to life and limb--and military career--that Ivan doesn't consider entirely fair. Although much practice has made Ivan more adept at fending off his mother's less-than-subtle reminders that he should be getting married and continuing the Vorpatril lineage. Fortunately, his current duty is on the planet Komarr as staff officer to Admiral Desplains, far from both his cousin and his mother back on their homeworld of Barrayar. It's an easy assignment and nobody is shooting at him. What could go wrong? Plenty, it turns out, when Byerly Vorrutyer, an undercover agent for Imperial Security, shows up on his doorstep and asks him to make the acquaintance of a young woman, recently arrived on Komarr, who seems to be in danger. That Byerly is characteristically vague about the nature of the danger, not to mention the lady's name, should have been Ivan's first clue, but Ivan is no more able to turn aside from aiding a damsel in distress than he could resist trying to rescue a kitten from a tree. It is but a short step down the road of good intentions to the tangle of Ivan's life, in trouble with the Komarran authorities, with his superiors, and with the lethal figures hunting the mysterious but lovely Tej and her exotic blue companion Rish--a tangle to test the lengths to which Ivan will go as an inspired protector. But though his predicament is complicated, at least Ivan doesn't have to worry about hassle from family. Or so he believes . . .

Captain IvanVorpatril is happy with his relatively uneventful bachelor's life of a staffofficer to a Barrayaran admiral. Ivan, cousin to Imperial troubleshooter MilesVorkosigan, is not far down the hereditary list for the emperorship. Thankfully,new heirs have directed that headache elsewhere, leaving Ivan to enjoy his lifeon Komarr, far from the Byzantine court politics of his home system. But when anold friend in Barrayaran intelligence asks Ivan to protect an attractive youngwoman who may be on the hit list of a criminal syndicate, Ivan's chivalrousnature takes over. It seems danger and adventure have once more found CaptainVorpatril!, A new installment in the New York Times best-selling, award-winning Vorkosigan science fiction adventure series.

- e***i (164)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaGreat book for a great price. Shipped quickly, but only packed in a poly bag, so the book suffered some mild corner damage in shipping. Aside from that, the book matched the description of its condition and I’m happy overall. Great seller!
- i***0 (641)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Mes pasadoCompra verificadaItem arrived in perfect condition, book was exactly as described however the cards were not with it so I needed to return the book. Seller understood and refuned without an issue. Return went successful and great communication about the situation with seller. I would recommend this seller as they give great feedback response and understood situation as well as beng well mannered and very understanding. The book was exactly as described, I just needed the cards too, so no use for book. Refunded
- t***t (305)- Votos emitidos por el comprador.Últimos 6 mesesCompra verificadaAAAA++++ SELLER!!!! Book was shipped very quickly and item price was also good. My only complaint is the shipping packaging. This book came loosely placed in a plastic bag so I can't tell if the damage to the dust jacket happened in shipping or it was already in that condition. But, as I already stated, the overall price was good so I shouldn't really complain. Overall, I've had positive experience with hpb-ruby so I'd still definitely recommend buying from them.
