| Audio Book Description |
| Lord Miles Vorkosigan has a problem that all his new power can’t solve: unrequited love for the beautiful Vor widow Ekaterin Vorsoisson. Ekaterin is violently allergic to marriage as a result of her first exposure. But as Miles learned from his late career in galactic covert ops, if a frontal assault won’t do, go to subterfuge.
Miles has a cunning plan, which, of course, has to be worked out in between District succession scandals and plans for the Emperor’s wedding. And if no battle plan survives first contact with the enemy, just imagine what all Miles's friends and relatives can do to his romantic strategy.

| “Bujold successfully mixes quirky humor with just enough action, a dab of feminist social commentary, and her usual superb character development in a sprightly SF romance that her many fans will find enormously satisfying.”—Publishers Weekly
“The latest Miles Vorkosigan adventure has him campaigning in four plots....Bujold weaves all four actions into a seamless whole that her faithful readers may rank among the best books in an outstanding series.”—Booklist
“The latest in Bujold's space opera featuring the diminutive nobleman Miles Vorkosigan combines a comedy of manners with political intrigue as suspicious deaths and treachery threaten to cast a damper on galactic affairs.”—Library Journal

A Civil Campaign Anonymous Posting on March 31 2008
An absolute joy to listen. As usual, the story
is told with a lot of humor and detail.
 Miles In Love
by Michael on March 22 2008
Following _Komarr_ in sequence, Miles doesn‘t have a mystery to
solve, except for how to win the hand of a lady. Of course, the
intrigue comes to him anyway, but the focus of the novel is more
humorous than suspenseful or action-oriented. I laughed more
listening to this one than I have since _The Vor Game._ Don‘t
dismiss this as a light one, even though the focus is fun.
