The Vor Game - review for Blake's 7 fans
'The Vor Game' by Lois McMaster Bujold is enjoyable, though nowhere as good as the brilliant 'Warrior's Apprentice'. The first part of the story, where Miles is sent to a remote northern outpost of the Barrayar military, feels very detached from the rest of the book - almost a separate story.
The level of coincidence also runs just a little too high overall.
However, if you're a fan of Blake's 7, there's a big bonus in the arrival of Servalan (under a different name, obviously, but you'll recognise her personality very quickly) and she gives Miles a run for his money. Also, for the really keen, there's a point where I was briefly channelling Miles as Jarriere. (Miles is 4ft 9in, so it's easy to do this).
