Every book seems to be getting better and better! I adore the Vorkosigans!
I'm curious about what this recent medical setback will mean for Miles. Apart from his stubborn tendency to dive headfirst into danger, even when it's unexpected, it shouldn't negatively impact his career.

On their way back from their honeymoon, Miles has to stop off at a space-station where there has been a diplomatic crisis, involving a murder mystery. As these Vorkosigan books go, this one was decidedly middle of the road, which still made it a pleasure to read. But it was kind of a letdown after A Civil Campaign, lacking the humor and wit that loaded that book. It also suffered by limiting the recurring characters to only a handful. Even so, it was a perfectly fine book, and a decent mystery.
