Great space opera with elements of farce and much stronger characterization than most of the genre.

Continuing the adventures of Miles Vorkosigan.
Miles is an interesting character who gets into major trouble wherever he goes. From being involved in a mutiny(?) at his first duty station, to losing and finding Emperor Gregor.
The other major characters are also well written, I especially enjoyed Cavilla and her plots.
His exploits with the Dendarii mercenary fleet are always fascinating.
