Diplomatic Immunity
Nebula Award nominee 2003.
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 mind, 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...
