Miles Vorkosigan graduates from the Barrayaran Military Academy with high expectations of ship command, but is disappointed with an assignment as meteorologist to Lazkowski Base, an arctic training camp. His tenure in the windy, snow-covered north is cut short when Miles narrowly averts a massacre between the trigger-happy base commander and mutinous recruits. After a brief stay under 'house arrest', Miles is re-assigned to investigate a suspicious military build-up near a wormhole nexus. Reviving his undercover persona as mercenary Admiral Miles Naismith, his routine information-gathering duty expands to a rescue mission when the Emperor of Barrayar disappears during a political conference on a nearby space station. Miles must use his considerable negotiating skills to avoid a showdown between competing powers for control of the wormhole, find the Emperor, and watch his back for the arctic base commander seeking bloody vengeance.©1990 Lois McMaster Bujold; (P)2005 Blackstone Audiobooks Adventure Science Fiction Kurgu Askeri Kutup Bölgesi

If you are already familiar with the novel, then you will find an enjoyable audiobook version. It is well read by a single reader, with good expression. I thoroughly enjoyed hearing my favorite passages, although at points I did wish for more differentiation between the characters. If you are unfamiliar with Bujold's work, the Vorkosigan series is a glorious space opera with great characterization and it is quite funny, poignant and very well written. This is the second Miles Vorkosigan novel so if you are new to the series you may want to pick up 'the Warrior's Apprentice' first, which details the earlier events.

A very good audiobook of a great Bujold novel

I love this story which weaves through the Vor and their relationship with other planets. The problem of what to do with an Ensign who’s also been an Admiral is at the heart of this.

Love it!

Bujold delivers another great tale and Gardner brings it to life. One of my favourite series and narrators.

Great combination of story and performance

The Vorkosigan saga is up there with the best space opera yet written, in my humble opinion. Until now the Honorverse was my gold standard, along with Vatta and Kris Longknife as top contenders, but LMB's Vorkosigan universe is at least their equal in terms of character development and sheer immersion in another time and place.
Lots of political intrigue - but just enough detail ( The Honor Harrington books can sometimes have too much detail methinks) - and the bare minimum of technical dissertation. Perhaps not enough ship to ship and fleet to fleet engagements for those with a more military s.f. bent. This is character-driven story-telling at its best, with some sparkling dialogue and description thrown in - just set in a spacefaring context - and all the better for it.

Rapidly becoming my favourite space opera series
