Never got around to do a review of this book, so I decided to re-read it and amend this oversight. After failing his entrance exams into the military academy and the death of his grandfather, Miles Vorkosigan, 17 years old, handicapped by brittle bones, suffering from (more or less) latent depress...
"Shards Of Honour" is Science Fiction at its best, using the conflict between two cultures and the attraction between two strong, independent, action-oriented leaders both to tell an exciting tale and to spark insights into the nature of power, honour, personal courage, leadership and personal and i...

Series: Penric and Desdemona #2 I fully admit that I probably wasn't paying enough attention to this audiobook but I just couldn't get into it and it felt like not much happened. This novella is set four years after Penric first gets his demon and he's already gone through all his training as a di...
Series: Penric & Desdemona #1 I stumbled across this while looking for more audiobooks at the library because none of my audio holds were available. It was short so I figured I'd give it a shot. It turned out to be a cute novella about how a nineteen year old boy on his way to his betrothal land...
This is a side-novel to Bujold's Vorkosigan series with Miles only being mentionned. The planet Athos is facing a crisis: populated only by men, the eggs needed for reproduction entirely come from ovarial tissue brought with the founders to the planet and/or purchased via trade. Now, the latest sh...
Once you catch the bug (again), you keep reading... so, still on my reading spree through the Vorkosigan series, and I fear once I run out of books I'll restart from the beginning. *sigh On the return flight from their honeymoon, Miles is assigned to investigate a situation involving the military ...
Ha, a new Vorkosigan novella - entirely in Ekaterin's PoV, set concurrently with "Captain Vorpatril's Alliance", i.e. before Miles inherits the Countship. When Ekaterin and Enrique set out to test their new radiation bugs in the fallout zone of Vorkosigan Vashnoi, they stumble across a long-lost s...
This is an omnibus edition of Bujold's 3 earlier novellas, framed by Illyan's interrogation of Miles into the enormous bills the Dendarii Mercenaries seem to accumulate under his command. The framing story is set shortly after Brothers in Arms. Mountains of Mourning (5++++++ stars) - set after Mil...
This is the epilogue to A Civil Campaign, Miles and Ekaterin's wedding (including some last minute assassination plot) told from Armsman Roic's point of view. Roic isn't your usual ImpSec trained armsman. He was a policeman in the Vorkosigan district capital and some heroism brought him to the att...
