IT ISN'T EASY, BEING
VOR...
Being a Vor lord on the war-torn planet
Barrayar wasn't easy. Being an officer in Barrayar's military wasn't easy. And
being the leader of a force of spaceborne mercenaries while maintaining a secret
identity wasn't easyin fact it should have been impossible, to say nothing of
being a capital offense on Barrayar. Not that impossibility or great danger
would slow down young Miles Vorkosigan
much.

Washed out of the Barrayaran Military
Academy for being overly fragile (he had been biochemically damaged during an
assassination attempt while still in his mother's womb), Miles's natural (if
unorthodox) leadership qualities quickly led to his off-handedly acquiring a
fleet of nineteen ships and three thousand troops, all unswervingly loyal to
himor at least to his alter ego, Admiral Naismith. In short order, he foiled a
plot against his father, returned to and graduated from the academy, solved a
murder among his people, joined a mutiny against a deranged superior officer,
thwarted an interstellar invasion, and rescued the Barrayaran Emperor. Then
things get interesting....

Publisher's Note:
Young Miles was previously published in parts as The Warrior's Apprentice, "The
