Publisher's Summary

Led by Admiral Naismith (a.k.a. Lord Miles Vorkosigan), the Dendarii Mercenaries have pulled off the daring interspace rescue of an entire Cetagandan POW camp. But they have made some deadly enemies. Having finally outrun the infuriated Cetagandans, the Dendarii arrive on Earth for battle, shuttle repair, and a well deserved rest.

But Miles realizes he's in trouble again. First the Mercenaries' payroll doesn't arrive on time, and then someone tries to murder him. Now Miles must juggle both his identities at once to unravel the complicated plot against him, and to reveal an unexpected ally.

Just who is trying to assassinate which of his personas, and why?

Bujold delivers another winner.

My other reviews cover the highlights and it's difficult to be book-specific without spoilers. So to keep it simple, if you've enjoyed the previous books in 5he Vorkosigan series you will enjoy this one :)

quality

The story is good, not my favorite of the series but a relatively entertaining addition.

The quality of the narration is less good than the previous works in the series.

Gardner's pronunciation of some of Bujold's characters and place names is different than in previous books. I'm not sure of the order in which they were recorded--it is possible his pronunciation was corrected somewhere along the way. His attempts to change his accent to suit different characters is very poorly done and mostly distracting.

Technical problems within the recording were slightly less than other books in the series as the cut off initiinitial syllables were less pervasive.
