Full Description
A new installment in the New York Times best-selling, award-winning
Vorkosigan science fiction adventure series! Captain Ivan Vorpatril
sometimes thinks that if not for his family, he might have no troubles at all.
But he has the dubious fortune of the hyperactive Miles Vorkosigan as a cousin,
which has too-often led to his getting dragged into one of Miles' schemes,
with risk to life and limb — and military career — that Ivan
doesn't consider entirely fair. Fortunately, his current duty is on the
planet Komarr as staff officer to Admiral Desplains, far from both his cousin
and his mother back on their homeworld of Barrayar. It's an easy
assignment and nobody is shooting at him. What could go wrong? Plenty, it turns
out, when Byerly Vorrutyer, an undercover agent for Imperial Security, shows up
on his doorstep and asks him to make the acquaintance of a young woman, recently
arrived on Komarr, who seems to be in danger. It is but a short step down the
road of good intentions to the tangle of Ivan's life, in trouble with the
Komarran authorities, with his superiors, and with the lethal figures hunting
the mysterious but lovely Tej!
