Miles
Vorkosigan graduates from the Barrayaran Military
Academy with high expectations of ship command, but is
disappointed with an assignment as meteorologist to
Lazkowski Base, an arctic training camp. His tenure in
the windy, snow-covered north is cut short when Miles
narrowly averts a massacre between the trigger-happy
base commander and mutinous recruits. After a brief stay
under 'house arrest', Miles is re-assigned to
investigate a suspicious military build-up near a
wormhole nexus. Reviving his undercover persona as
mercenary Admiral Miles Naismith, his routine
information-gathering duty expands to a rescue mission
when the Emperor of Barrayar disappears during a
political conference on a nearby space station. Miles
must use his considerable negotiating skills to avoid a
showdown between competing powers for control of the
wormhole, find the Emperor, and watch his back for the
arctic base commander seeking bloody vengeance. ©1990
