“Fans have been clamoring for Hugo winner Bujold to pen a new Vorkosigan Saga novel. Bribery, corruption, conspiracy, kidnapping–something is rotten on Kibou-daini, and Miles is up to his neck in trouble and adventure once more. On Kibou-daini, Miles unearths a war of generations as the oldsters in charge refuse to die and their descendants threaten outright patricide, matricide and maybe even genocide-the prize being a big fat slice of the immortality pie. But now the Kibou-daini are attempting to franchise out their Fountain of Youth wares to the rest of the galaxy and the Barrayar Galactic Empire is none too pleased with the implications.Ĭue Miles Vorkosigan, malformed royal troublemaker-but also heir and savior of empire. All well and good, so long as they kept to themselves. Kibou-daini is a planet obsessed with cheating death. Miles Vorkosigan, troubleshooter for the Barrayaran Galactic Empire, takes on the corrupt and dangerous ruling elite of a world where immortality is a commodity to be bought, sold and bartered for power. A New York Times hardcover bestseller, this is the long-awaited NEW installment in the hugely-popular, award-winning science fiction adventure series.
