A review by jmeston
Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen by Lois McMaster Bujold

4.0

Satisfying visit to Cordelia Vorkosigan's planet. An excellent read for a person about to turn 52. The military/ scientific exploration outlook is retro. I am fond of it. But I also bridle at the assumption that humans should carve up the landscape and slaughter the inconvenient fauna of a new world. (Manifest destiny indeed.) I loved the deus ex machina resolution of the concrete swindlers dilemma.
