A NEW NOVEL IN THE AWARD WINNING SERIES FROM MULTIPLE NEW YORK TIMES
BEST-SELLING AUTHOR LOIS MCMASTER BUJOLD! Cordelia Naismith Vorkosigan
returns to the planet that changed her destiny.
FUTURE TENSE
Three years after her famous husband's death, Cordelia Vorkosigan,
widowed Vicereine of Sergyar, stands ready to spin her life in a new
direction. Oliver Jole, Admiral, Sergyar Fleet, finds himself caught up
in her web of plans in ways he'd never imagined, bringing him to an
unexpected crossroads in his career.
Meanwhile, Miles Vorkosigan, one of Emperor Gregor's key investigators,
this time dispatches himself on a mission of inquiry, into a mystery
he never anticipated - his own mother.
Plans, wills, and expectations collide in this sparkling science-fiction
social comedy, as the impact of galactic technology on the range of the
possible changes all the old rules, and Miles learns that not only is
the future not what he expects, neither is the past.
