A COMEDY OF TERRORS . . .

A rich Komarran merchant fleet has been impounded at Graf Station, in distant Quaddiespace, after a bloody incident on the station docks involving a security officer from the convoy's Barrayaran military escort. Lord Miles Vorkosigan of Barrayar and his wife, Lady Ekaterin, have other things on their minds, such as getting home in time to attend the long-awaited births of their first children. But when duty calls in the voice of Barrayar's Emperor Gregor, Miles, Gregor's youngest Imperial Auditor (a special high-level troubleshooter) has no choice but to answer.

Waiting on Graf Station are diplomatic snarls, tangled loyalties, old friends, new enemies, racial tensions, lies and deceptions, mysterious disappearances, and a lethal secret with wider consequences than even Miles anticipates: a race with time for life against death in horrifying new forms.

The downside of being a troubleshooter comes when trouble starts shooting back . . .

Reviews for Diplomatic Immunity (#13 Vorkosigan)

As usual, Bujold is adept at world-building and provides a witty, character-centered plot, full of exquisite grace notes . . . fans will be thoroughly gripped and likely to finish the book in a single setting. The latest in Bujold's popular 'Vorkosigan Saga' continues the adventures of one of the genre's most enterprising and engaging heroes. Recommended. . . . . . . an impounded trade fleet and a missing officer . . . the specter of interstellar war. . . . In short--a typical day for Miles Vorkosigan. [Bujold] draws the reader in with engaging characters involved in readable plots. As usual, when Miles get involved nothing is as simple as it appears. . . . Despite all the military fireworks . . . this has more the air of a Thin Man movie . . . a lot of fun. Each addition to the Vorkosigan mystique solidifies Ms. Bujold's niche in SF.
