This Hugo-nominated novella adds a delightful extra chapter to Bujold's Vorkosigan series, describing the wedding of Miles and Ekaterin and events leading up to it.

In the festive season of Winterfair on the planet Barrayar, Lord Miles Vorkosigan is making elaborate preparations for his wedding. The long-awaited event stirs up romance and intrigue among his eccentric family and friends, particularly for bioengineered space mercenary Sergeant Taura and shy, diffident Armsman Roic. But Miles also has an enemy who is plotting to turn the romantic ceremony into a festival of death.

Winterfair Gifts offers another of Bujold's witty, character-centered science fiction plots with a twist of romance.

      Acclaimed science-fiction writer Lois McMaster Bujold offers this tidbit of a story, which fits between her two longer works A CIVIL CAMPAIGN and DIPLOMATIC IMMUNITY. It's certainly a quick snippet of story meant for hard-core fans; nevertheless, Grover Gardner narrates as if he has all the time in the world, and the story is all the better for it. Gardner's characters are layered and real despite the highly imagined world in which they live. His narration is at once straightforward and well crafted. Gardner's voice seems plucked right from 1950s sci-fi serials, a quality that adds to the atmosphere and makes this a fun listen. L.B. (c) AudioFile 2008, Portland, Maine
