| Annotation | Dystopia of an all-controlling galactic corporation which has bread “Quaddies,” humans, although not classified as such, who have an extra pair of arms rather than legs and are ideal for working in zero gravity. The corporation treats them as slaves, and the novel is about an attempt to free them. Included in multi-volume Vorkosigan Saga, but it is set two hundred years before Miles Vokosigan’s birth. Intended to be the first half of the story, but the second half was never written. The author revisited the subject is her Diplomatic Immunity. New York: Baen Books, 2002, but it has little to do with the subject of Falling Free. A “Prologue” that was not published in the volume can be found at http://www.dendarii.com/excerpts/prologue.html. |
