Our view
“Diplomatic Immunity” keeps its people in the foreground of its science fiction, with Miles Vorkosigan at his quick-witted best. Some readers value how the human side stays at the centre amid the space adventure and the genetic engineering. Nominated for the Nebula Award, it is the sixteenth volume of “The Vorkosigan Saga” and gives most to readers who already know Miles.
