The Flowers of Vashnoi: An Ekaterin Vorkosigan Novella

by Lois McMaster Bujold Narrated by Grover Gardner

Overview

Still new to her duties as Lady Vorkosigan, Ekaterin is working together with expatriate scientist Enrique Borgos on a radical scheme to recover the lands of the Vashnoi exclusion zone, lingering radioactive legacy of the Cetagandan invasion of the planet Barrayar.

When Enrique's experimental bioengineered creatures go missing, the pair discover that the zone still conceals deadly old secrets.

Editorial Reviews

JANUARY 2019 - AudioFile

Narrator Grover Gardner tells the continuing tales of the Vorkosigan clan. The plot is not terribly complicated in this novella, but, like most of the series, is character driven. Gardner slips into the characters’ easy familiarity and banter as they try to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of the “rad bugs” —the bugs that are cleaning up the radioactivity in the exclusion zone, a legacy of war. Gardner is an engaged storyteller who maintains a lively pace and makes the most of Bujold’s sardonic humor. Fans of the series will especially enjoy this audiobook, although it can certainly stand alone. For new listeners, it offers a glimpse of why the series was awarded a Hugo Award in 2017.
