Book Review: Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance, by Lois McMaster Bujold

 
In Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance, Ivan finds himself in the middle of a zany romantic comedy when Byerly turns up at his doorstep in need of help. It turns out that there is a mysterious young woman who is not who she says she is, who may be in need of help. Ivan is persuaded to make contact with this young lady, but the lady in question is understandably wary; she is in fact in danger. Somehow, this ends with Ivan getting married to the young woman, who turns out to be the youngest daughter of a Jackson’s Whole House which has recently suffered an extremely hostile takeover. (The marriage was to prevent Tej’s enemies from having her deported and then kidnapped.)
