Two complete novels and a short novel in one large volume: Falling Free—The Nebula Award-winning novel. Leo Graf was just your typical efficient engineer: mind your own business and do the job. But all that changed on his assignment to the Cay Habitat, where children had been bio-engineered to have four arms (and no legs) to function in zero gravity. Now that they’re no longer needed, a heartless mega corporation is getting rid of them before they eat into the profit margin. Leo Graf adopted 1000 quaddies—now he had to teach them to be free. “Labyrinth”—When Miles Vorkosigan is captured while on a secret mission to a lawless world, his only hope of escape is an unlikely pair of allies: a quaddie and a teenage werewolf. Diplomatic Immunity— Miles Vorkosigan and his wife were heading home for the births of their first children, but a major diplomatic disaster is looming at Graf Station, colonized by the descendants of the original quaddies, and duty calls. Unfortunately, diplomatic immunity doesn’t carry over to immunity from a very nasty biological weapon. The downside of being a troubleshooter comes when trouble starts shooting back. . . .

This was ...okay, I guess? Enjoyable, but definitely the weakest point of the series.
The first book, Falling Free, had some interesting ideas, but suffered from a very sudden ending and a cartoonishly evil villain.
The other half, Diplomatic Immunity, was nice because it gave us a chance to revisit with Bel Thorne, who I'd always been fond of. I found the “mystery” rather telegraphed, though, and had hoped Ekaterin would have been in it more (I love her and Miles' banter).
