When Cordelia Naismith and her survey crew are attacked by a renegade group from Barrayar, she is taken prisoner by Aral Vorkosigan, commander of the Barrayan ship that has been taken over by an ambitious and ruthless crew member. Aral and Cordelia survive countless mishaps while their mutual admiration and even stronger feelings emerge.
A steady sci-fi cross-cultural human confrontation on the periphery of war and romance, ok given the era, but there are a handful of scenes that are fantastically sharp, witty, expectation inverting, and promising.
