Borders of infinity by Lois McMaster Bujold

 Another Vorkosigan Saga book, this one is made of three different stories linked by an "interrogation" by Illyan with Miles in hospital recalling the three events.

The first is The mountains of Mourning, where a young Miles arrives home after his military training and is sent by his father to judge an assassination in a little town of his dominion. There Miles has to fight against old habits and solve the crime and give justice as well as he can.

In Labyrinth, years later as Admiral Naysmith his mission is to bring home a scientific who has deserted his Cetagandan masters, for whom he's made some supersoldiers, in one of whom he's hidden his life research, that supersoldier was to be killed after getting the tissues, but Miles finds that she is a human mutant not a beast as expected and ... recruits her to the Dendarii forces.

In Borders of Infinity, we find Miles in a prison where no one can scape, we don't know why is he there and what is he trying, we only wish he survives until we discover the truth.

All three are good stories and keep you reading wishing to know more.
