About this listen
The choice is not a popular one on Komarr, where a betrayal a generation before drenched the name of Vorkosigan in blood. Thus, the Komarrans surrounding Miles could be loyal subjects, potential hostages, innocent victims, or rebels ready for revenge.
Lies within lies, treachery within treachery - Miles is caught in a race against time to stop a plot that could exile him from Barrayar forever. His burning hope lies in an unexpected ally, one with wounds as deep and honor as beleaguered as his own.

Critic reviews
"As usual, Bujold tells a fast-moving story that combines just the right amount of action and wit as Miles continues to mature in a manner unusually complex for a series protagonist....[Bujold's] work remains among the most enjoyable and rewarding in contemporary SF." ( Publishers Weekly)

Great Grover Gardner
I thoroughly enjoy Bujold's writing style her subtle humor and solid plots are good and strong not overly complicated but edge of seat, Ekaterine is truly a match for Miles and occasionally the wry dry humor makes me laugh out loud, a bit strange when no one can see you are reading....
Grover Gardners narration is addictive his ability to convey different characters with a slight change of voice brings the story to life and the pace allows my middle aged mind to relax and become absorbed, thanks to all involved.

Komarr is wonderful
Another amazing book by LMB. Miles is back on form. I'm starting to dread the day I'm done with the series.

Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful
Miles undertakes his first ever job in his new position as Imperial Auditor and at the same time, he meets Ekaterin Vorsoisson, a woman trapped in an unhappy marriage. OK, that may not sound like the most gripping novel summary of all time but really this is fantastic. It mixes light social comedy with serious meditations on the nature of power and personal happiness with a gripping detective story. As ever it is read brilliantly by Grover Gardner.
In case you're wondering the chronological order of the Miles Vorkosigan novels is this:
Warrior's Apprentice
The Vor Game
Cetaganda
Brothers in Arms
Mirror Dance
Memory
Komar
A Civil Campaign
Diplomatic Immunity
However, it doesn't matter too much about reading them in the right order as Bujold didn't right them in chronological order, and anyway has said that she wrote them bearing in mind that readers might encounter them out of order.
In addition there is are 3 short stories originally published in a single volume that can be slotted in among the novels, and there are two novels, Shards of Honor and Barrayar, which deal with Miles's parents.

Wonderful story brilliantly narrated
I just love this book. It has the series trademark action and humour, with added depth as Miles navigates a new phase of his life.
