colossal 's review for:

Brothers in Arms by Lois McMaster Bujold
4.0

At this point in the Vorkosigan chronology Miles has been living his double life as Admiral Naismith for several years and his Dendarii mercenaries are a thriving concern. The action picks up with the Dendarii arriving at Earth and Miles having to make his double identity work in ways that he hasn't in the past. There are people trying to kill him, and it may not just be his usual crowd of enemies, and nor is it clear who they're trying to kill: Vorkosigan or Naismith.

This is a fairly run-of-the-mill off-Barrayar Vorkosigan story that would be familiar to anyone whose read [b:The Vor Game|68483|The Vor Game (Vorkosigan Saga, #6)|Lois McMaster Bujold|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1322571824s/68483.jpg|1129239] or [b:Cetaganda|76812|Cetaganda (Vorkosigan Saga, #9)|Lois McMaster Bujold|https://images.gr-assets.com/books/1386924035s/76812.jpg|2802]. It does introduce some very important characters and relationships for later in the series though, particularly including Mark and Duv Galeni as well as establishing Elli Quinn a bit better.
