Review Summaries
"BROTHERS IN ARMS was published in 1989 and is part of the Miles Vorkosigan saga written by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Miles Vorkosigan, forced to stay on Earth in order to wait for his next mission, does have some trouble keeping his two identities, Admiral Naismith and Lord Vorkosigan, clearly separated. When a clone, identical to him, makes his appearance, Miles will have to deal with his hierarchy, with Captain Galeni's father - an ancient revolutionary - and with Elli Quinn he has fallen in love with.
A very good book of the Miles Vorkosigan serie.
