Miles Vorkosigan has been sent on a diplomatic mission to the home planet of his people's long-standing enemy, the Cetagandans. He and his cousin Ivan are there for the funeral of the Emperor, but they quickly become embroiled in local politics. The Cetagandans have taken genetic engineering to artful heights, and when someone steals a piece of software that holds the key to their genome it is up to Miles and Ivan to find the culprit before they are framed for the crime. VERDICT This title is part of a long-running series that also features humor, action, and memorable characters. This reviewer envies those who have not yet had the chance to meet indomitable underdog Miles and who have the option of a summer spent devouring the entire saga. (c) Copyright 2013.
