Publisher's Summary
Hugo Award Winner, Best Novel, 1995
The dwarfish, fetally damaged yet brilliant Miles Vorkosigan has more than his share of troubles. Having recently escaped an assassination plot whose tool was a brainwashed clone of himself, Miles has set the clone, Mark, free for a new chance at life. But when he decides to let his clone brother assume his secret identity and lead the Dendarii Free Mercenary on an unauthorized mission to liberate other clones from the outlaw planet of Jackson's Whole, things get really messy.
The mission goes awry, Miles' rescue attempt goes even more wrong, and Miles ends up killed and placed in cryogenic suspension for future resuscitation. Then, as if that weren't bad enough, the cryo-container is lost! Now it is up to the confused, disturbed Mark to either take Miles' place as heir of the Vorkosigan line or redeem himself by finding and saving Miles.
Critic Reviews
"[A]s good a story as ever was offered as science fiction, with Bujold's carefully crafted prose, logical working out of even minor plot points, and inimitable wit all very much in evidence. Deserves the highest recommendation and a hoard of eager readers." (Booklist)
"[An] intricate and rousing new installment of the Vorkosigan adventures....Bujold creates a tapestry of variegated human societies dispersed throughout a colorful galaxy. She peoples it with introspective but genuine heroes who seize the reader's imagination and intellect." (Publishers Weekly)

A superb entry in the Vorkosigan saga
Loved this addition to the series. It took some time to catch the rhythm of the book at the start with two different viewpoints. Lois masterfully interweaved the story between Mark and Miles POV.
The best part - The character development for both Miles and especially Mark was the best part of the story. It was also refreshing to see Aral and Cordelia in the story as well. Cordelia is a mighty powerhouse by herself.
TW - There are some torture scenes in the book, so be wary of that. However, the payoff at the end is satisfying to read.
Backdrop/Setting - The book also moves the focus to Jackson's Whole and it was fascinating to see an entire world/society explored to its gruesome depths during the entire story.
Pacing - The book can be divided into three distinct sections. The pacing differed in the middle section and was slower than the other two parts. It provided a nice transition between action and good old character development.
All in all, one of the best books in the series so far.
