At least
that's what Miles Vorkosigan thinks and he should know,
having done both once already. That was when he last
visited the planet of Jackson's Whole, while rescuing his
brother. Thanks to quick thinking on the part of his
staff, and incredible artistry on the part of the
specialist who revived him, his first death won't be his
last.
But his next one might be, a realization he finds
profoundly unsettling. Even after he returns to military
duty, his late death seems to be having a greater effect
than he's willing to admit. Unfortunately, his weakness
reveals itself to the world at large at just the wrong
time and in just the wrong way, and Miles is summoned home
to face Barrayaran security chief Simon Illyan.
But when
things begin to go subtly wrong in Imperial Security
itself, "Who shall guard the guardians?" becomes a more-
than-rhetorical question, with a potentially lethal
answer. Things look bad, but they are far worse than Miles
imagines, as he discovers his worst nightmares about Simon
Illyan don't compare to Illyan's worst nightmares - or are
they memories?
