Published in 2010.
Miles is in to Kibou-daini to investigate the hidden motives of a cryocorp (a
company specialized in freezing people before their death and storing the
bodies) who wants to expand its business on Komarr. A failed attempt at
kidnapping him (and other foreigners attending a conference organized by the
cryocorp) leads him to meet a small community running an unofficial cryocorp
in abandonned faclities, allowing poor people to benefit from
cryopreservation. Thanks to Jin, a homeless orphan whose mother Lisa was
frozen in suspicions circumstances eighteen months earlier, Miles manages to
contact the Barrayaran consulate and continue his investigation. Jin, arrested
by the police while carrying a message from the consulate to Miles and
returned to his aunt's, escapes with his sister Mina and find refuge at the
consulate. Miles then wants to find Lisa's body to find out what she had
discovered before being forcibly frozen. He eventually finds her in the
basement of an employee of another cryocorp; the latter had told Lisa about a
fraud that the cryocorp had tried to hush up by silencing Lisa and her
associates. During his invetigation, Miles also discovers that the cryocorps
receive a mandate from their patrons for voting in their place during the
elections; this gives enormous power to the cryocorp on Kibou-daini, and
because of Komarr's peculiar laws, would have given them the same power there.
Thanks to Lisa's revival, the fraud becomes finally public, the guilty
executives of the cryocorp are arrested, and Jin and Mina have their mother
back.

Sixième et dernier volume des aventures d'Oksa Pollock.
Orthon a assassiné le président des États-Unis et a fait du nouveau président
sa marionnette. Il a proposé aux dirigents de plusieurs pays de se joindre à
son projet d'éliminer tous les humains qui ne satisfont pas ses critères et de
batir un monde nouveau. Ceux qui ont refusé ont vu leur population attaquée
par des Chiroptères, forçant des millions de personnes au suicide. Oksa et les
siens ont traqué Orthon jusqu'à Washington, puis à sa base secrète à Detroit,
où il construit une fusée chargée d'uranium ; ils apprennent qu'Orthon veut
détruire l'étoile qui permet à Édéfia de rester invisible, tuant Oksa la
Gracieuse du même coup. Les Sauve-Qui-Peut parviennent à s'échapper, et
contactent les dirigeant des pays qui avaient refusé la proposition d'Orthon.
Grâce à eux, ils découvrent qu'Orthon bâtit une cité au coeur de la forêt
amazonienne, sur le modèle d'Édéfia. Un bombardement, organisé par le Brésil
détruit la cité. Oksa et les siens retournent alors dans la base de Detroit et
parviennent juste à temps à empêcher la destruction de l'étoile. Oksa affronte
Orthon et parvient à se résoudre à le tuer. Tous partent finalement pour
Édéfia, sauf Abakoum, Tugdual, Zoé et Mortimer qui décident de rester sur
Terre. On apprend qu'alors que les trois enfants étaient brièvement
prisonniers d'Orthon dans sa base de Detroit, on leur a inoculé un virus qui
leur a donné la capacité des Diaphans pour absorber les sentiments amoureux
d'autrui jusqu'à tuer, ainsi que le besoin de se « nourrir » ainsi. Abakoum
reste avec eux pour les protéger.

Published in 2012.
Ivan Vorpatril, while stationed on Komarr, accepts to help his cousin Byerly
Vorrutyer protecting Tej, an exiled Jacksonian woman, a possible witness related to
Byerly's current investigation. To save her from the local authorities set on
her by the bounty hunters who are tracking her, she accepts Ivan's hurried
plan to temporarily marry him and fall under Barrayaran protection. They then
travel back to Barrayar and fail getting the quick divorce promised by Ivan
(probably due to Ivan's mother who likes Tej and talked to the judge). Tej's
parent, who were believed to have been killed in the takeover of their House
in Jackson's Whole, actually reappear on Barrayar, after having learned that
Tej was there. They then plan to secretely raid an underground bunker dating
from the time of the Cetagandan invasion where Tej's grandmother (still alive)
had worked and where she knows that a huge treasure had been piled up and
never reclaimed by the Cetagandans who had fled Barrayar. Ivan manages to
participate in the raid, but Tej's family's attempt fails and they are trapped
underground: the bunker is located under ImpSec's HQ, and an old bomb, lost
underneath it after a failed attempt to blowup the building over twenty years
ago, collapses the tunnels. They are however quickly rescued, and Emperor
Gregor is willing to make a deal with the Jacksonians to get an ally in the
Whole. Tej and Ivan decide de remain married, Tej finally managing to get out
of the grip of her family.
