The Vor Game

Miles Vorkosigan begins a new military assignment on the planet Kyril Island, where an ill-judged act of defiance places his career in jeopardy. He is then drawn back into the affairs of the Dendarii Free Mercenaries and becomes involved in a political crisis threatening Emperor Gregor of Barrayar. The novel follows Miles as he navigates military bureaucracy, interstellar politics, and a kidnapping plot while trying to protect his emperor and his own future.
