Brothers in Arms picks up from where "Borders of Infinity" leaves off.
Miles and the Dendarii Free Army have managed to upset the Cetagandan Empire greatly. In the process, they have suffered heavy losses. They limp their way to Earth, for much-needed repairs (and R&R). But, rather than being a time where Miles and his mercenaries can relax and recover, mysteries and complications befall him. The money owed the Dendarii for their mission isn't forthcoming. Miles is trapped at the Barrayaran Embassy playing Junior Lieutenant, while having to portray his alter ego for the Earth media. Just to make things even more complicated, his immediate superior at the embassy is Komarran, whose father was an infamous Komarran terrorist and freedom-fighter. If that wasn't bad enough, enter the Cetagandans, who are determined to eliminate Miles' alter ego. And what are these reports of a Vorkosigan/Admiral Naismith clone running around London?
More Vorkosigan action and adventure, all set on good old planet Earth. A must read all around.

Why? So many twists and turns, shootouts, assassins, spies, terrorists and more. And Miles' life gets turned upside down in more ways than one.
