Rezension(1): "Lois McMaster Bujold nació en Columbus (Ohio) en 1949. La crítica y el público la reconocen, unánimemente, como uno de los mejores narradores de la ciencia ficción de aventuras de los últimos años. Su obra se ha centrado en la serie protagonizada por Miles Vorkosigan, una saga de divertidas aventuras espaciales tratadas con ironía y humor. La serie ha obtenido gran éxito popular como atestiguan las impresionantes cifras de ventas y los muchos galardones: cuatro premios Hugo, dos Nebula, dos Locus y un Analog. En 1992, apareció su primera novela de fantasía histórica, The Spirit Ring, ambientada en la Italia renacentista. Su más reciente obra es The Curse Of Chalion, inspirada en leyendas medievales hispa?nicas." Rezension(2): "〈a href=http://www.publishersweekly.com target=blank〉〈img src=https://images.contentreserve.com/pw_logo.png alt=Publisher's Weekly border=0 /〉〈/a〉: January 1, 1996 The power to engineer a civilization', genetic destiny fosters new variations on old struggles for political power in this entertaining space-operatic entry in Bujold', long-running Vorkosigan saga. Miles Vorkosigan, hero of Mirror Dance (winner of the 1995 Hugo Award for Best Novel), is on a diplomatic mission to represent his home planet at the funeral of the dowager empress of the Cetaganda empire when an encounter with an assailant leaves him with a piece of computer software. This proves to be a bogus duplicate of a key to the Cetagandan genome, which each new empress manipulates to produce offspring. With the help of a member of Cetaganda', matriarchal ruling haut, Miles and his cousin Ivan dodge inventive assassination attempts to determine which of the empire', eight governors has tried to pin this ``theft',#39,on them in the hope of usurping control of the genome. With her usual skill, Bujold addresses timeless issues of human identity through the personal dramas of her characters, most notably Miles, a deformed mutant whose insecurities afford him insight but sometimes obstruct his investigations. Set in a vividly realized world where Machiavellian intrigues are played out behind a facade of aristocratic discretion, this novel, like its predecessors, blends high adventure with wry commentary on the seemingly unbridgeable gulf between human ideals and political realities.
