Cetaganda is the latest installment of the Hugo-award
winning adventures of Miles Vorkosigan, in which Miles and
Cousin Ivan go to Cetaganda to play the part of sprigs of
the nobility doing their diplomatic duty by good old
Barrayar. The idea is that they will gain diplomatic
polish on this simple mission, but when the Cetagandan
empress dies naturally and her lifelong attendant dies
unnaturally - apparently a suicide, but there are rumors -
Miles and Ivan find themselves in the thick of it. Miles
tries to play detective in a strange, complicated, and
deceptively alien culture. Meanwhile, handsome and
lascivious Ivan manages to get himself involved with
several women at the same time - all of whom are TROUBLE
from the word go. Miles had always wanted to save the
Empire - it was just that the Cetagandan wasn't exactly
the empire he'd had in mind...
