Book Description

Fans won't find this surprising in the least, but Miles Vorkosigan--the 
plucky, short-statured hero of Lois McMaster Bujold's beloved series--is 
uniquely incapable of having an uneventful honeymoon. Between a racially 
fueled diplomatic dispute, the appearance of a hermaphroditic old flame, 
and a bizarre Cetagandan genetic conspiracy, Miles just can't seem to 
get a minute of peace with his new wife, the lovely and resourceful 
Ekaterin (whom Miles courted in A Civil Campaign). 
Miles had hoped to give "hands-on op games" a rest once and for all, 
but when the Emperor urgently calls on him to resolve a "legal entanglement" 
in Quaddiespace, diplomacy alone might prove inadequate. (Quaddies, 
you'll remember, are the no-legged, four-armed free-fallers introduced 
in Falling Free.) Our newly minted Imperial Auditor almost immediately 
forgets all about "Baby's First Cell Division" (after the assignment 
comes in, Ekaterin quickly observes "You know, you keep claiming your 
job is boring, Miles, but your eyes have gone all bright"), but even 
Miles feels the heat after his diplomatic attempts devolve into a series 
of flattering assassination attempts. 

Vorkosigan (and family now!) is as winning as ever, with Bujold offering 
up her usual fun mix of space-opera action and droll social commentary 
in a character-centered plot. And here's a bonus for Milesophiles and 
Vorkosiga novices alike: a book-by-book timeline detailing what trouble 
Miles got into and when. --Paul Hughes --This text refers to the Hardcover 
edition. 

From Publishers Weekly
Those who have followed Bujold's superb far-future saga about the undersized 
and unorthodox warrior, Miles Vorkosigan, will heave a sigh of relief 
as our hero and his beloved Ekaterin enjoy wedded bliss (including looking 
at "baby pictures," i.e., a sperm fertilizing an egg) on a belated galactic 
honeymoon until a diplomatic crisis intrudes. As a Barrayaran Imperial 
Auditor, Miles must look into a murder whose investigation is complicated 
by the boorish behavior of the Barrayaran military. When the case develops 
a host of new angles, Miles wonders, "How many angles can dance on the 
head of a pin?" A seemingly straightforward crime leads him to mass 
murder, kidnapping, hijacking, biological warfare and Cetagandan genetic 
politics, all on an orbital habitat of the quaddies (the genetically 
engineered four-armed humans introduced in the author's Nebula Award 
winning Falling Free). Preventing interstellar war is a tough job, but 
fortunately Miles has his lady working beside him, in the best tradition 
of Nick and Nora Charles or Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane. As usual, 
Bujold is adept at world-building and provides a witty, character-centered 
plot, full of exquisite grace notes such as the description of quaddie 
ballet (hint: four arms and no gravity make many things possible). Established 
fans will be thoroughly gripped and likely to finish the book in a single 
sitting. While this isn't the best place to start for new readers, they'll 
be helped by a concise chronology at the end that neatly sums up Miles's 
earlier adventures.
