À propos de cet audio
Leo Graf was just your average highly efficient engineer: mind your own business, fix what's wrong, and move on to the next job. But all that changed on his assignment to the Cay Habitat, where a group of humanoids had been secretly, commercially bioengineered for working in free fall.
Could he just stand there and allow the exploitation of hundreds of helpless children merely to enhance the bottom line of a heartless mega-corporation?
He hadn't anticipated a situation where the right thing to do was neither safe, nor in the rules. Leo adopted a thousand quaddies. Now all he had to do was teach them to be free.

Secondly, Bujold demonstrates phenomenal topical range within and between different volumes. There are elements of political intrigue, comfortable romance and epic battles. She also draws out the full range of human emotion in her characters, who are complex and growing beings, so that we actually care about them. Sub-genres don't get in the way, as for example "romance" not being so dominant or distracting as to distract from the actual story. (I despise the whole harem-for-men and romance-for-women sewage that has infected sci-fi and fantasy genres).
Thirdly, she doesn't just keep retelling the same story because she's found a "formula" that readers will buy. This book and all of them in the series are genuinely new and different stories, not merely reworking the same framework. Indeed, some of the volumes in the series are dramatically different in tone and texture from the others, with some being primarily space operas of grand conflict and others being limited location spy thrillers.
A great listening adventure.
Outstanding story telling, satisying conclusions
