Reading: The Borders of Infinity

The Borders of Infinity is another Miles Vorkosigan novella (like The Mountains of Mourning and Labyrinth), rather than a full-length novel. In this one, Miles goes undercover in a Cetagandan prisoner-of-war camp. When he arrives, life in the camp is nasty and brutish in the extreme, despite the Cetagandans' technical compliance with interstellar codes on the treatment of prisoners. Miles being Miles, he sets about restoring order armed with nothing but the force of his personality (literally nothing, as his clothes were stolen as soon as he entered the camp). I particularly love Miles when he's out-thinking everyone in sight, so I very much enjoyed this.
