Falling Free Book Description

Leo Graf was just your average highly efficient engineer: min your own business, fix what's wrong and move on to the next job. Everything neat and according to spec, just the way he liked it. But all that changed on his assignment to the Cay Habitat. Could "you" just stand there and allow the exploitation of hundreds of helpless children merely to enhance the bottom line of a heartless mega-corporation?

Leo Graf adopted a thousand quaddies -- now all he had to do was teach them to be free.

Lois Mc Master Bujold has contributed to Falling Free as an author.

SCI in your Fi Rating of 4 out of 5 Rating of 4 out of 5 Rating of 4 out of 5 Rating of 4 out of 5 Rating of 4 out of 5

I started reading sci-fi in the 60s. Things have changed. Lots of people who claim to be sci-fi fans act like there is something wrong with having SCIENCE in science fiction. STAR WARS is NOT science fiction!!!

Falling Free and Komarr are the two most scientifically interesting stories in the Vorkosigan series. Falling Free has more science and engineering than Komarr but Komarr has a more interesting story with better characterization. Bujold was more experienced as a writer by then.

But Falling Free is very good for other reasons. It isn't really a Miles Vorkosigan story though. But it does bring up issues about genetic engineering and indentured servitude to corporations.

It's 40 years after the Moon landing and we have cheap computers and double-entry accounting is 700 years old. So why haven't educators been suggesting mandatory accounting in the schools for years? What do you mean we are being indoctrinated like quaddies? Sci-fi is about what to do with technology.
