Jim Butcher and Lois McMaster Bujold write fantasy and science fiction filled with nuanced characters, political intrigues, and seemingly impossible moral dilemmas, though honor and integrity always prevail.

Booklist Review
In Bujold's fifth novel in three years, she tackles clones and mercenaries. Hero Miles Vorkosigan finds that his own identity as a Barrayaran noble and his alternate one as Admiral Naismith, leader of the Dendarii mercenaries, are increasingly in conflict. Just to make matters livelier, traitors have stolen Miles' payroll and cloned him (a development with humorously romantic ramifications). Bujold combines intelligent world building, superb characterization, and rare wit to make this novel an essential purchase for any sf collection that caters to the author's audience. RG.

Library Journal Review
The Reader's Chair furthers its excellent and comprehensive coverage of Hugo Award-winning Bujold's signature series with this latest installment in the operatic Miles Vorkosigan adventure saga. With the short story "The Borders of Infinity" as a point of departure, Barrayaran lord Miles, his alter ego Admiral Naismith, and his army of Dendarii mercenaries arrive on Earth for much needed repairs following an intrepid covert rescue of an entire Cetagandan POW camp. While on Earth, Miles is confronted with some of the most intriguing and complex plot and psychological developments involving a clone of himself, assassination attempts, and the outing of Miles's dual identities. Stalwart regulars Elli Quinn and Ivan Vorpatril are back for another hitch in addition to some fascinating new characters. Veteran readers Michael Hanson and Carol Cowan once again narrate, with Hanson seamlessly combining the demanding expository chores with his deft and considerable vocal range with multiple characters. The story is blissfully unbroken by introductory comments, chapter breaks, or cassette beginning/ending notations. Brothers in Arms, while not best suited as a standalone, will be enjoyed independent of the series structure, but with the entire Vorkosigan constellation increasingly taking full audio shape, it would be a shame for standard sf collections not to have the entire canon available.
