Diplomatic immunity bujold6/24/2023 Miles seems a little slow in getting started (he is a little distracted since Ekaterin has gone with him), but after he meets his old friend Bel things start picking up. Also, a mess of blood has been left on station docks which was identified as the blood of a security officer of the Barrayaran escort. Because of this, the Komarran merchant fleet they were escorting has been impounded. When Miles gets to Graf station, the Barrayaran propensity for reacting adversley to mutants has caused trouble between Barrayaran fleet personal and the Quaddies who run Graf Station. The message from Emperor Gregor starts out "I'm sorry to interrupt you honeymoon, Miles" As one of Gregor's Imperial Auditors, Miles must get himself to Graf Station and sort out the situation "Without starting a war, if you please, or breaking my Imperial Budget". Miles and Ekaterin are just returning home from a belated honeymoon in time for the birth (via replicator) of their first two children, Aral Alexander and Helen Natalia when an Imperial courier catches up with their ship. This is another of Ms Bujolds "life and times of Miles Vorkosigan series". BTW: We may even have a copy for sale - but not mine. The copy reviewed is the second printing (in the same month, year as the first printing) of May, 2002 by Simon & Schuster / A Baen Books Original.
