Publisher Description
Komarr could be a garden with a thousand more years’ work, or an uninhabitable wasteland if the terraforming fails. Now, the solar mirror vital to the terraforming of the conquered planet has been shattered by a ship hurtling off course. The Emperor of Barrayar sends his newest imperial auditor, Lord Miles Vorkosigan, to find out why.
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.

"I would love to write a long and eloquent review, but the truth is simpler. Bujold's wit has only gotten sharper, the action and political intrigue has only gotten stronger, and Miles is pure concentrated delight! What a great read! "

Quotes

“Bujold retains the wit, intelligence, action, and great character development that have made the Miles Vorkosigan series so superior. In Komarr she proves once again that it is possible for the latest book in a series to be as good as the first.”
— VOYA -

" I read this as part of the Miles in Love omnibus so I'll write my review on that book when I've finished the whole thing. Suffice it to say, thus far I continue to be a sucker for Miles and a sucker for romance. "
