Book ID/图书代码： 13005504B09723

English Summary/英文概要： Cordelia Naismith is enjoying a baptism of fire. Her first mission is to captain a throwaway warship of the Betan Expeditionary Force on a mission to destroy an entire enemy armada. Discovering deception within deception, treachery within treachery, she is forced into an uneasy peace with her nemesis: Lord Aral Vorkosigan. Discovering that astrocartography is not the soundest training for a military leader, Cordelia rapidly finds herself the prisoner of the Barrayaran Captain Aral Vorkosigan, also known as ’The Butcher of Komarr’. But the notorious captain is not quite the beast Cordelia was expecting and a grudging respect develops between the two of them. As captor and prisoner on an abandoned outpost planet, the honourable captain and the resolute scientist must rely on each others’ trust to survive a trek across dangerous terrain, thus sparking a relationship that shares the struggles of culture and politics between their worlds.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 这本小说是比约德出道并获好评的第一部小说。在这本处女作里，我们已经可以看出比约德的潜力了。一场牺牲成千上万性命的侵略战争只是皇帝用来铲除自己儿子，传位孙子的权谋。女主角考迪利亚身为探测队船长，却与身处敌对阵营的阿罗相恋。这种多重角色的演变与冲激更是比约德未来小说的基本成分。(RH)
