About this listen
Thanks to his quick-thinking staff and incredible artistry from a medical specialist, Miles' first death wasn't his last. But it does take some recovery, a fact he has been reluctant to admit. When he makes the mistake of returning too soon to military duty, he finds himself summoned home to face the Barrayaran security chief, Simon Illyan.
But Miles' worst nightmares about Simon Illyan are nothing compared to Illyan's own nightmares. Under suspicion himself, Miles must seek out the answers to Ilyan's nightmares or see the inevitable destruction of Imperial Security and, with it, the Empire.
Hi-fi sci-fi: listen to more in the Vorkosigan saga.©1996 Lois McMaster Bujold (P)2007 Blackstone Audio Inc.Critic reviews
"As ever with Bujold, Memory is a delight!" ( Locus)
"Bujold fans of long standing will justly hail [this] as a masterpiece that contains some of her finest prose and characterization. Bujold continues to prove what marvelous genius can create out of basic space operatics." ( Booklist)

Only for diehard fans of Bujold
Convincing story about growing up at the age of 30-something. +all the intricate and exciting details she is known to impress us with.

Fabulous
One of the very best Miles Vorkosigan novels. Miles makes a bad decision and loses nearly everything, but finds that life carries on regardless and is soon back on form. The comedy, plotting and characterisation all work brilliantly. If you haven't read a Vorkosigan novel before don't start here (try Warrior's Apprentice). If you have already read the sequence thus far then you don't really need me going on about how brilliant it is. Just believe me: this is a notch better.

One of the greatest novels ever written
I love everything Lois McMaster Bujold writes, but after many years of re-reading and audio rehearing, I do think Memory is the best thing she's ever written. A perfect pearl of a novel, in its balance of pain and pleasure, humour and sadness, adventure and character/relationship development. Such a pleasure every time. And I still cry at some parts every time.

Quirky Miles
Since the first time I downloaded A Warrior's Apprentice years ago Lois McMaster Bujold has not disappointed. This audio book is no exception. Grover Gardner reads it superbly, giving each character the right feel and inflection. I love this series. I would highly recommend it.
