Relation To Books Diplomatic Immunity (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #13)
A rich Komarran merchant fleet has been impounded at Graf Station, in distant Quaddiespace, after a bloody incident on the station docks involving a security officer from the convoy's Barrayaran military escort. Lord Miles Vorkosigan of Barrayar and his wife, Lady Ekaterin, have other things on their minds, such as getting home in time to attend the long-awaited births of their first children. But when duty calls in the voice of Barrayar's Emperor Gregor, Miles, Gregor's youngest Imperial Auditor (a special high-level troubleshooter) has no choice but to answer. Waiting on Graf Station are diplomatic snarls, tangled loyalties, old friends, new enemies, racial tensions, lies and deceptions, mysterious disappearances, and a lethal secret with wider consequences than even Miles anticipates: a race with time for life against death in horrifying new forms. The downside of being a troubleshooter comes when trouble starts shooting back . . .

Very good, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I have the previous few installments.This series has consistently delivered excellent writing, interesting characters, and very solid stories. Diplomatic Immunity is certainly no exception. The couple of things that made it a less enjoyable entry for me were not enormously significant. I missed a bit of the ironic humour more present in some of the earlier books, and I was disappointed that Ekaterine's role was somewhat diminished here ratherI hadnt read this in years. It was wonderful. I especially enjoyed seeing what a help Roic is to Miles in his investigation, as well as seeing what a wonderful team he and Ekaterin make. It was also really wonderful to catch up with Bel Thorne and Nicol again. While the novel starts of a little slow it more than makes up for this at the end which has enough action for several novels. So much fun to read.
Another rock solid entry in the continuing Vorkosigan saga, this time the theme is babies... with a side of genocide via genetically engineered plague. All in all a solid weeks work for Miles and Ekatarin.
I just don't get it - how can every single book in the Vorkosigan saga be a home run?! It's a smaller cast, only a few of our favorite characters show up, but the book does not suffer for it. Such an imaginative wild ride of a whodunnit. This is a must read!
Now this is what I call real Miles Vorkosigan adventure! And we get some actual space in this space opera. Even with occasional space suit. Gods know I loved this one and I think this is where I'm going to stop, since wise people say it's a good idea. Unless... I get too curious one day...I'll miss you, Admiral Naismith. ;)I will miss them all.
Beautiful ending to Miles Vorkosigan saga. Interesting world inhabited by quadies four armed no legs humans who live in zero gravity. Some mind boggling architecture and culture details here.Miles confident in his new role and finally happy and content in his new relationship.Engaging mystery that gets weirder by the minute until it turns into right nightmare. Great suspense.All this together makes for a great read.
Just re-read this one while re-acquainting myself with the later books in this excellent series. It's a good read: we meet lots of old friends from Miles' past, and get to see the Quadies' society up a little closer. There's some good mortal danger combined with those signature crazy-but-just-might-work Miles plans at the end. However, it does not compete with "Komarr" or "A Civil Campaign," its most recent predecessors. Everything is from Miles' POV again, and none of the characters are moved
