Kibou-daini is a planet obsessed with cheating death.
Barrayaran Imperial Auditor Miles Vorkosigan can hardly
disapprove—he's been cheating death his whole life, on the
theory that turnabout is fair play. But when a Kibou-daini
cryocorp—an immortal company whose job it is to shepherd its
all-too-mortal frozen patrons into an unknown
future—attempts to expand its franchise into the Barrayaran
Empire, Emperor Gregor dispatches his top troubleshooter
Miles to check it out.
On Kibou-daini, Miles discovers generational
conflict over money and resources is heating up, even as
refugees displaced in time skew the meaning of generation
past repair. Here he finds a young boy with a passion for
pets and a dangerous secret, a Snow White trapped in an icy
coffin who burns to re-write her own tale, and a mysterious
crone who is the very embodiment of the warning Don't mess
with the secretary. Bribery, corruption, conspiracy,
kidnapping—something is rotten on Kibou-daini, and it isn't
due to power outages in the Cryocombs. And Miles is in the
middle—of trouble!
