Overview
Dying is easy. Coming back to life is hard.
At least that's what Miles Vorkosigan thinks andhe should know, having done both once already. That was when he last visited theplanet of Jackson's Whole, while rescuing his brother. Thanks to quick thinkingon the part of his staff, and incredible artistry on the part of the specialistwho revived him, his first death won't be his last. But his next one might be, arealization he finds profoundlyunsettling.
Even after he returns to militaryduty, his late death seems to be having a greater effect than he's willing toadmit. Unfortunately, his weakness reveals itself to the world at large at justthe wrong time and in just the wrong way, and Miles is summoned home to faceBarrayaran security chief Simon Illyan. But when things begin to go subtly wrongin Imperial Security itself, "Who shall guard the guardians?" becomes amore-than-rhetorical question, with a potentially lethalanswer.
Things look bad, but they are far worsethan Miles imagines, as he discovers his worst nightmares about Simon Illyandon't compare to Illyan's worst nightmares-or are theymemories?
