Now it is up to the confused, disturbed Mark to either take Miles's place as heir of the Vorkosigan line or redeem himself by finding and saving Miles.

I loved the psychological layers and thrilling action in this 5th in a delightful series of military space opera novels featuring Miles Vorkosigan. But on re-read, it's one of my favorites, and I've come to really love Mark as a character. RELEASE DATE: Sept. 10, 2019.
