Full Description
A COMEDY OF TERRORS . . .
A rich Komarran merchant fleet has been impounded
at Graf Station, in distant Quaddiespace, after a bloody incident on the station
docks involving a security officer from the convoy's Barrayaran military escort.
Lord Miles Vorkosigan of Barrayar and his wife, Lady Ekaterin, have other things
on their minds, such as getting home in time to attend the long-awaited births
of their first children. But when duty calls in the voice of Barrayar's Emperor
Gregor, Miles, Gregor's youngest Imperial Auditor (a special high-level
troubleshooter) has no choice but to answer.
Waiting on Graf Station are diplomatic snarls,
tangled loyalties, old friends, new enemies, racial tensions, lies and
deceptions, mysterious disappearances, and a lethal secret with wider
consequences than even Miles anticipates: a race with time for life against
death in horrifying new forms.
The downside of
being a troubleshooter comes when trouble starts shooting back . .
