Kibou-Daini/New Hope II
The setting for the Vorkosigan book, CryoBurn. The inhabitants of this planet freeze their dead in the hopes of one day being able to revive them, causing a demographic imbalance impairing the planet's functions over time. Various personal names and honorifics suggest that the founding culture was Eurasian, and predominantly Japanese. A local Kibou-Daini lad is one of the three viewpoint characters in the book.

Famous quotes containing the word hope:
“Your kind doesn’t just kill men. You murder their spirits, you strangle their last breath of hope and freedom, so that you, the chosen few, can rule your slaves in ease and luxury. You’re a sadist just like the others, Heiser, with no resource but violence and no feeling but fear, the kind you’re feeling now. You’re drowning, Heiser, drowning in the ocean of blood around this barren little island you call the New Order.”
—Curtis Siodmak (1902–1988)
