Review: Captain Vorpatril's Alliance

Captain Vorpatril's Alliance Captain Vorpatril's Alliance by Lois McMaster Bujold
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

Nothing much happens, and what does is fairly nonsensical. Ivan meets some political refugees. He says he can get them safely back to Barrayar, but they don't want that, because they don't trust Barrayar. So he marries one of them, and now they trust him enough to go to Barrayar with him? Ohhhhhh kaaaaaay. And then we get a bunch of fairly tedious detail of him tour guiding and romancing his "wife". And then a weirdly grafted-on heist caper storyline wherein the Emperor rewards some people hugely for trying to rip him off and failing. So, whatever.
