About the Book

When a Komarran merchant fleet is impounded at Graf Station, Miles Vorkosigan and his wife instead have the births of their first children on their minds. But duty calls, and the downside of being a troubleshooter comes when trouble shoots back.

Book Synopsis

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.
