Summary
The popular adventures of Miles Vorkosigan, a clever and outlandish science fiction hero for the modern era, continue in these three tales. In The Mountains of Mourning, Miles is dispatched to a back-country region of Barrayar, where he must act as detective, judge, and executioner in a controversial murder case.
In Labyrinth, Miles adopts his alternate persona as Dendarii Mercenary Admiral Naismith for an undercover mission to rescue an important research geneticist from Jackson’s Whole. And in the title story, Miles infiltrates an escape-proof Cetagandan POW camp and plays hero to the most deeply distressed damsel of his colorful career.
Lois McMaster Bujold burst upon the science fiction world in 1986 with Shards of Honor, the first of the Vorkosigan Saga novels. She has won the Hugo Award four times and the Nebula Award twice. The mother of two, she lives in Minneapolis, Minnesota.

Fix up
After the disappointment of Barrayar and Shards of Honor, this collection of novellas fixed up by a connecting story into a novel is the business. Miles is much more interesting protagonist , the first novella is quite moving at times and the other two are old fashioned action stories.
Great stuff.
Narration was good.

I couldn't put it down!
The book is made up of three distinct stories, connected by our hero, Miles. It's well written and really plugged into my imagination. My only recommendation to Audible would be to split the dialogue into separate chapters.

I can just keep coming back to her books
It's difficult to say what it is about Bujold's books that keeps me coming back. Each time there's a turn of phrase or an insight that comes fresh.
It was such a delight when I realised that, where I thought I'd heard all the Vorkosigan audio books (having read them as hard copy in any event) there was this one I'd missed.
This is a series of short stories which might lead those unfamiliar with the series into wanting more or fills in some gaps they might not even have known were there for those who do know the other books.

Three novellas linked together.
A fine collection of three novellas linked by a sequence where Mile's has to account for the excessive expenditure involved.
In one Miles unexpectedly gains an unusual new female friend.
A second story is basically a murder mystery and in the
third Miles relates his experiences as a POW. The latter reaches a tense and frantic finale. This is another worthy episode in the Vorkosigan saga and devotees will no doubt enjoy this collection.
Note: All three novellas can be found as separate written volumes as well as in this omnibus edition which bears the same title as the third novella.

A bit disjointed but interesting character
The story is a bit disjointed but entertaining enough and the main character is interesting, very smart… would recommend for a casual sci-fi listen.
