Well, not Japan exactly, but a cosmic version, with ninjas and people addressing others with the honorific -san added to their names. This is another action-packed addition to the Vorkosigan saga, with many characters from the past included--Mark and Kareen, Armsman Roic, and the Duronas, to name a few. Given the ending, I won't be surprised if this is the last Vorkosigan novel, but I hope for at least a short story more to show how Miles is handling his new situation, and to see how the twins are doing!
