 Ethan of Athos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Ethan scurried, albeit meticulously, through the fertilization, placed the pod in the incubation chamber from which, in six or seven days' time if things went well, the blastula would be transferred to a uterine replicator in one of the banks in the next room, and zipped upstairs.
Ethan's terror and—he admitted to himself—ravenous curiosity had mounted to a fever when he was at last permitted to walk through the flex tube from the courier into the rest of the universe.
Ethan realized as the weapon spun in her hand and melted soundlessly back into its holster that the pause had been for stunner nimbus; all others in the group were out of range and untouched.

 Ethan of Athos: Lois McMaster Bujold Irish & Celtic Books at An Irish Christmas.com   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Ethan of Athos is a difficult book to review because the bulk of the novel is a rather average adventure story set in the universe of Bujold's Miles Vorkosigan stories.
Ethan comes from Athos, a planet founded by misogynists who took their loathing of women so seriously that they founded a planet populated only by men.
The Athos prejudice against women was a bit on the strong side until you consider that, after all, the planet's residents had never seen women in their life.

 Review: Ethan of Athos   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Ethan Urquhart is Chief of Biology at a District Reproduction Center.
With the future of Athos at stake, Ethan is chosen for a unique mission: to travel abroad and buy ovarian cultures to replenish Athos's dwindling stocks.
Events on Kline take a very different turn from what Ethan expected, and the poor doctor is forced to uneasily team up with Elli in order to deal with deadly machinations involving her mission, frenzied Cetagandan intelligence operatives, an even more mysterious party, and his own duty to Athos.

 Love Among Men
But Ethan's expressed hope to persuade him to accept their ways applied to his wish for the other man to be his lover, not to the political agenda of Athos, and he took no displeasure in Terrence's occasional jibes about their way of life.
It had been obvious from the beginning of their life on Athos that he had been more than willing to be with Ethan physically, but there was a period of awkwardness while each gained knowledge of the other, and eventually became comfortable making love to him.
Ethan was used to needing to be the pursuer, the one trying to persuade his partner to make a commitment.

The colony of Athos was founded by patriarchs who believed, primarily, that women were a corrupting influence.
At first glance, ETHAN OF ATHOS is a simple adventure story starring a protagonist from an unusual culture.
To be sure, Athos isn't a planet I would ever want to be even near to, but their attitude towards women would be as natural as our attitude is toward those who are totally alien to us.

 Ethan of Athos, by Lois McMaster Bujold   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Athos is a planet in which there is only homosexuality—and it is a cultural phenomena, not genetic, as it is often portrayed in SF.
It is interesting that she does this; she creates a great atmosphere without the sexual tension present in most of her other books.
It was handled quite well, and Ethan's revelations at the end of the novel all the more meaningful for the journey he took to get there.

 Review: Ethan of Athos, Lois McMaster Bujold   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
Something goes wrong with the shipment of uterine cultures delivered to Athos to solve a reproductive crisis, so Ethan is sent to Kline Station to investigate.
Ethan gets into a lot of trouble when he first gets onto the station, first with some gay-bashing downsiders and then with some Cetagandans (the all-purpose villains of most of these novels.) Elli pulls him out, and then the real problems start.
Also, Ethan is a pretty interesting person, and the scenes given of his personal life back home are pretty heartwarming.

 Speak Stiltedly and Wear a Yellow Shirt » Ethan of Athos, “Survival Instinct”   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
I enjoyed Ethan of Athos, perhaps because I wasn’t expecting much of my last unread LMB novel and one I knew all along had little to do with Miles.
The beginning drew me in; I had no clue about Athos until it was made obvious, and I do love a good alien culture.
I realized back in the second half of The Vor Game that I don’t particularly like the space-opera side of space-opera, and when Ethan of Athos turned into the usual hide-and-seek in spaceship/spacestation corridors, with arrests, escapes, thugs, interrogations and the whole nine meters, I was ready to write the novel off.

This is convenient, since even if you enjoy the rest of the series, you may want to skip this one.
Ethan is an obstetrician who takes care of children in artificial wombs, dispatched from Athos to the nearest wormhole transit point to try to find replacements for the world's failing uterine cultures before more children become impossible.
The plot suffers a lot from several unbelievable coincidences, particularly Ethan's accidental encounter with exactly the unlikeable technician who proves to be vital to the plot, but as with the main Vorkosigan books the story does keep pulling the reader along.
