Rendition Toward Books The Borders of Infinity (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #5.3)

[A Miles Vorkosigan Story] Miles infiltrates a prison camp at Dagoola IV, where he plots from within to free the prisoners.
[Publisher's Note: The Borders of Infinity was originally published as a stand-alone novella in the anthology Free Lancers in September 1987. It was then included in the novel Borders of Infinity (October 1989). For the novel, Ms. Bujold added a short "framing story" that tied the three novellas together by setting up each as a flashback that Miles experiences while recovering from bone-replacement surgery. Fictionwise is publishing these novellas separately, but we decided to leave in Ms. Bujold's short framing story for those who may also wish to read the other two novellas (he Mountains of Mourning and Labyrinth).]

Write Up About Books The Borders of Infinity (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #5.3)

I can't help feeling the story would have been stronger without the comparisons to concentration camps. It was certainly slightly more emotionally resonating than the previous novella, but still, I'm looking forward to finally returning to the main plotline.

This started as the most ambiguous of the novellas. It starts strangely with Miles been thrown into prison, but it quickly unravels into this engaging story. Sadly, unlike Labyrinth there are no genetically modified teenage werewolves, but there is an overzealous prophet and a Chosen one.

Miles has a way of taking advantage of every opportunity presented him, always making for a great ride.In this installment, he breaks out some POWs, but of course the real story as always is seeing the lessons he learns this time around. My favorite insight-His crush on fellow prisoner Beatriz comes to a very humasn end, as he watches his mother stride into his hospital room and realizes there is probably a psychological reason he always crushes on leggy redheads.Its moments like these that give

3.5 stars. It's a Miles Vorkosigan story, so of course I liked it, but it didn't grab me like some of his other adventures have. However, it's always a pleasure to read about Miles' ever-triumphant cunning and audacity.

Another extremely compelling and enjoyable novella. Surprisingly sad in the end, and the cause of it felt a bit unnecessary to me, but maybe that's because it was so sudden and I'm guessing that was probably part of the author's point....and perhaps that's somewhat inherent in literary tragedy (at some fundamental level, it IS unnecessary; the author didn't HAVE to write it, but CHOSE to for some reason(s)). I am prone to get quite attached to characters and want them to be immune from hardships

I dunno, I'm just not feeling too inspired to write a review, it's like I'm forcing myself here. is it the novella's fault? I don't think so. the story is about intrepid, quick-witted Miles on a secret mission in a POW camp. it's rather a perfect prison: just a big force field dome, the prisoners can do as they like, they are given clothes & bedding & regular food rations and that's pretty much it. the folks who have built the prison trot it out as some kind of benevolent example of how

A seemingly odd novella that showcases Mile doing the honorable and caring thing, at the expense of the mission. The novella seemed really blocky (cut into two parts, to be more precise), however the book held my attention.
