Komarr

Accident or

Treachery?
Komarr could be a garden-with a thousand

more years work. or an uninhabitable wasteland, if the terraforming fails. Now

the solar mirror vital to the terraforming of the conquered planet has been

shattered by a ship hurtling off course. The Emperor of Barrayar sends his

newest Imperial Auditor, Lord Miles Vorkosigan, to find out

why.

The choice is not a popular one on Komarr,

where a betrayal a generation before drenched the name of Vorkosigan in blood.

In the political and physical claustrophobia of the domed cities, are the

Komarrans surrounding Miles loyal subjects, potential hostages, innocent

victims, or rebels bidding for revenge?

Lies

within lies, treachery within treachery-Miles is caught in a race against time

to stop a plot that could exile him from Barrayar forever. His burning hope lies

in an unexpected ally, one with wounds as deep and honor as beleaguered as his

own.
