Cryoburn (Vorkosigan Saga)

by Lois Mc Master Bujold (Author)

Synopsis

Miles Vorkosigan is back! Kibou-daini is a planet obsessed with cheating death. Barrayaran Imperial Auditor Miles Vorkosigan can hardly disapprove - he's been cheating death his whole life, on the theory that turnabout is fair play. But when a Kibou-daini cryocorp - an immortal company whose job it is to shepherd its all-too-mortal frozen patrons into an unknown future - attempts to expand its franchise into the Barrayaran Empire, Emperor Gregor dispatches his top troubleshooter Miles to check it out. Bribery, corruption, conspiracy, kidnapping - something is rotten on Kibou-daini, and it isn't due to power outages in the Cryocombs. And Miles is in the middle - of trouble!
