Synopsis

A rich Komarran merchant fleet has been impounded at Graf Station in distant Quaddiespace after a bloody incident involving the convoy's Barrayaran military escort. Lord Miles Vorkosigan and his wife, Lady Ekaterin, have other things on their minds, such as getting home in time to attend the longawaited births of their first children. But when duty calls in the voice of Barrayar's Emperor Gregor, Miles, as imperial auditor, has no choice but to answer. Waiting on Graf Station are diplomatic snarls, tangled loyalties, old friends, new enemies, racial tensions, lies and deceptions, mysterious disappearances, and a race with time for life against death in horrifying new forms. The downside of being a highlevel troubleshooter comes when trouble starts shooting back.

Buddy read with Choko and Evgeny. WARRNING! SPOILERS AHEAD! A return to Miles' galactic adventures. This time as the Lord Auditor :) Diplomatic Immunity is more of a murder mystery but as fans of the series know Miles can fill any role. And just as always he does an excellent job of it.

Goodreads review by Justine on February 25, 2020

Very good, but I didn't enjoy it quite as much as I have the previous few installments. This series has consistently delivered excellent writing, interesting characters, and very solid stories. Diplomatic Immunity is certainly no exception. The couple of things that made it a less enjoyable entry for......more

Goodreads review by Megan on December 08, 2014

Miles is about to be a father? Huh. That fills me with nearly as much trepidation and delight as it does Miles himself.
