Memory
Miles turns 30, and--though he isn't slowing down just yet--he  is starting to lose interest in the game of Wall: the one where he  tries to climb the wall, fails, gets up, and tries again. Having  finally reached a point in his life where he can look back and realize  that he has managed to prove his courage and competence, he can move on to bigger and better things.Depending on how you count it, this is the eighth, ninth, tenth, or  eleventh book in a series--not all are about Miles or even his extended  family. A good place to start is with the first Vorkosigan story,Shards of Honor.--This text refers to theMass Market Paperbackedition.
