About the Book
Hugo Award nominee 1997, Nebula Award nominee 1997.
ONE LIFE TO LIVE… WELL, TWO, ACTUALLY
Dying
is easy. Coming back to life is hard. At least that's what Miles
Vorkosigan thinks and he should know, having done both once already.
Thanks to his quick-thinking staff and 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 Miles' worst nightmares about Simon
Illyan don't compare to Illyan's worst nightmares – or are they memories?
