“Should he climb carefully down, or save a few seconds by jumping? He makes his decision, he jumps . . . and we're off on a high-speed adventure that will take us through space battles and murder plots, unrequited love and bloody death, laugh-out-loud fun and hair-raising horror, and finally to the private audience chamber of the Emperor of Barrayar.It's not giving too much away to say that Miles Vorkosigan has a great fall. Unlike Humpty Dumpty, Miles's problem is that he can't stop putting him...self together again. Smuggler, would-be soldier, unrequited lover, con artist, space commander, entrepreneur . . . Miles Vorkosigan, you'll soon find, is a young man of parts. And his story is just as complex as he is, for The Warrior's Apprentice is at least three books folded into one.Running up the middle of the book, as it were, is the central plotline, a story of high adventure and a young man's coming of age under several different sorts of fire. There are combats and ambushes, plots and pursuits, and a final twist that loops the story around to—almost—where it started.MoreLessRead More Read Less
