Review "A Civil Campaign is a highly enjoyable romp, and will be happily received by long-time readers."-- "Locus""A modern comedy of manners...Gardner rolls with the humor, holding the silliness in check but allowing it to move to the foreground now and again. With a well-placed tongue in cheek, he serves up a narration that has an underlying sense of seriousness and a clear eye on a plot that is entertaining and fun."-- "AudioFile""Among the best books in an outstanding series."-- "Booklist""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""Likely to add another statue to Bujold's already full shelf. It's charming, touching, and quite funny too."-- "Amazon.com"The amazing Lois McMaster Bujold dares to be different as her wonderful creation, Miles Vorkosigan...Pure magic, this irresistible character study works on myriad levels as Ms. Bujold charms and delights us with scathing wit and absolutely delicious humor. The hysterically funny dinner party from hell will surely go down as one of the most unforgettable moments in all fiction.-- "RT Book Reviews (4 1/2 gold stars)"The Vorkosigan Saga is a classic work of space opera military sf that contains several books that are also marvelous sf romance.

Miles settled back againin his seat beside him, wincing at a vision of the acrimoniousstreet scene from which Pym's reflexes haddelivered them, Miles wondered if he could have persuadedthe feckless prole in front of them that beingrear-ended by an Imperial Auditor was a privilege to betreasured. Likely not. The Vorbarr Sultana Universitystudent darting across the boulevard on foot, who hadbeen the cause of the quick stop, scampered off throughthe jam without a backward glance.
