A friend gave this to me to read after I had given him Use of Weapons by Banks, and again Im positively surprised at how many excellent writers there are out there - all of which have written tons of books, just waiting for me to read them.

(Mar.Access-restricted-item true Addeddate 18:13:19.47205 Bookplateleaf 0008 Boxid IA1144916 City Riverdale, NY Donor She peoples it with introspective but genuine heroes who seize the reader's imagination and intellect. Hugo award-winner Bujold creates a tapestry of variegated human societies dispersed throughout a colorful galaxy. His (and Miles's) penetrating intelligence flowers, and he plans a return to Jackson's Whole to find Miles and redeem himself. The competitive and confused Mark, who had been created as a tool to assassinate his father and was brutalized by a madman in his youth, begins to find himself. The couple welcome him as a son and begin his training as their heir in case Miles is never found. As the Dendarii search feverishly for their leader, the terrified Mark is sent to Barrayar to Miles's parents, Count Aral and Countess Cordelia Vorkosigan. He is preserved for resuscitation, however, in a cryo-chamber, which disappears in the confusion of evacuation. When the plan goes awry, Miles is killed. Passing himself off as Admiral Miles Naismith, Miles's secret identity, Mark commandeers one of the Dendarii Free Mercenary vessels to liberate clones being raised as brain-transplant hosts on the outlaw planet Jackson's Whole. Honor and his sense of self place the fetally damaged, dwarf-like and brilliant Miles Vorkosigan in grave danger as he attempts to save his disturbed, younger clone Mark from the consequences of folly in this intricate and rousing new installment of the Vorkosigan adventures (after Barrayar ), the series' first appearance in trade hardcover.
