Interpretation As Books Memory (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #10)
Forced to abandon his undercover role as leader of the Dendarii Mercenaries, Miles Vorkosigan persuades Emperor Gregor to appoint him Imperial Auditor so he can penetrate Barrayar’s intelligence and security operations (ImpSec). Simon Illyan, head of ImpSec and Miles’ former boss, is failing physically and mentally, and Miles sets out to find out why -- and who, if anyone, is behind Illyan’s rapid decline. Library Journal calls Miles “one of the genre’s most enterprising and engaging heroes”. A Hugo and Nebula Award finalist.Rating Based On Books Memory (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #10)

Well, Miles has put his foot in it good this time...whatever shall he do????? Why come up smelling like, well if not like roses at least not like that solid waste stuff that's always hitting the rotary impeller whenever he gets involved.If you've followed Miles from early on in his "life" and like me have enjoyed his adventures then you won't be let down here. While early on I found these books occasionally hitting "speed bumps" where the story slowed down over time and installments of the saga*** 5 ***A buddy read with Evgeny and Maria because we love Science Fiction!!!Wow! I always knew that this series is special, but books like this one, emotional and poignant, are what make this series AMAZING! Miles Vorkosigan, at the beginning of the book as his alternate persona Miles Naismith, Admiral of the Dendarii Mercenaries, is in trouble. After being criogenically preserved and subsequently restored back to life, is suffering with seizures as a complication of his rushed defreezing.
UPDATED 2020.03.29 with Worst Cover Gallery!Well, to be honest, this was more of a "cozy mystery", than the usual space opera adventure sci-fi, as it used to be before in Miles' series. It was slower paced and there was not that much happening. But I enjoyed it nonetheless. Surprisingly. Still one of my fav series.P.S. I forgot to add the worst cover gallery but I will probably update it on the weekend. I didn't expect that working from home sometimes is more exhausting than working from work!!!
Memory: An Identity Crisis for Miles - Which is the Real One?Memory is the 8th volume in the Miles Vorkosigan Saga (if you exclude the stand-alones Ethan of Athos and Falling Free), and represents an important transitional phase between his free-wheeling alter-ego as Admiral Miles Naismith of the Dendarii Mercenaries, and Lord Miles Vorkosigan, son of Count Aral Vorkosigan and a key member of Emperor Gregor's inner circle of Barrayaran leaders. Therefore, this is definitely the wrong place to
I'm puzzled at the high rating in Goodreads. One of the weaker books imho.Frankly half of the book nothing happens. Brooding and depressed Miles is no fun. It doesn't help that we're stuck on Barayar.Half way through we finally get some action due to new case. But the culprit is quite obvious for the reader if not to Miles..."Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize. The one thing you can't trade for your heart's desire is your heart.""You go on. You just go on.
I thought that Mirror Dance was my fav Vorkosigan novel, but it looks like I need to read them ALL before I can make an accurate choice. Memory was amazing, everything that I wanted in a Miles novel, PLUS I was ahead of him for once (view spoiler)[ Of course everything Mr Bad Guy did was suspicious, and I was on to him from the start, of course Alys and Simon were close, of course his relationship with his parents would be fine, of course Miles would find a satisfying new purpose in life, of
A buddy read with Choko and Maria.I gave none of the books of the series 5 stars despite the fact that I like it a lot. The reason for this is that you can predict what would happen in the next book by the time you finish the previous one. So in the last book it turned out Miles began having unpredictable seizures. Anybody wants to bet where it goes in this novel? Right, his complete inability to lead his mercenary fleet. And thus Miles ended up grounded - a result of not one, but two big
