Miles wants to find money for his fleet his embassy boss wants him to follow orders and these two worlds of Mile cross over and create a lot of havoc.
They end up on the original homeworld for humanity Earth where Miles parks his damaged, injured and unfortunately broke mercenaries and also has to put on his other role the junior officer Lieutenant Mile Vorkosigan working in the empire’s embassy. Miles Naismith of the Dendarii Free Mercenary fleet have been fleeing the mighty Cetagandan fleet’s surprise attacks for some time after the events of the previous book. Instead we get a more textured universe and Brothers in arms is a great example of how Bujold twists classic SF tropes and can add a layer of emotional depth that military SF often isn’t known to have. I think it would have been very easy for Bujold to have created Miles and his mercenaries cause havoc on missions. One of the reasons I enjoy the Vorkoisigan series is the ever-shifting tones of the stories.
When Miles unravels the answers, then the complications really begin. What connects the impeccable insufferable Captain Galeni and the Komarran rebel expatriates on Earth anyway? But the most deadly question of all before Miles is more personal: are Miles's two identities, Admiral Naismith of the Dendarii and Lieutenant Lord Vorkosigan of Barrayar, splitting apart along the lines of his divided loyalties? And who is trying to assassinate which version of him? But his enemies were plotting a more deadly fall.įor some unexplained reason the Dendarii payroll is missing and the orders from the Barrayaran Imperial Command are being delayed by Miles's superior, Captain Galeni. If his enemies would just leave him alone, Miles Vorkosigan (alias Admiral Naismith) decided bitterly, the Dendarii Free Mercenary Fleet would collapse all on its own.
