Falling Free (1987) is about as hard science as it’s possible to get—it’s a novel where all the good guys are engineers, with engineering mindsets, and the solution to social and economic problems are engineering ones. It’s explicitly about how changing technology affects people’s lives. But ...

Bluejo's Journal —
Anticipation: wonderful, despite everything. I had such a good time I feel churlish to complain about anything. I had great panels, great conversation, great food, great tea, not enough time with lots of people. It was odd having a Worldcon here, but it worked out very well. I basically had a totally terrific time and I don't want it to be over. ...

This is my old identity, actually: Lois McMaster Bujold’s Memory
tor.com 4/13/2009 — Memory (1998) is in my opinion the worst place to start the Vorkosigan saga, because it is a sequel to all the books that have gone before it. I know that by saying this I’ll be prompting several people who started with it to say that no, it ...
Forward Momentum: Lois McMaster Bujold’s The Warrior’s Apprentice
tor.com 4/3/2009 — The Warrior’s Apprentice is where I normally tell people to start the Vorkosigan books, and it is the other logical beginning to the series. It was written immediately after Shards of Honor but set a generation later—a literal generation. ...
Hard on his superiors: Lois McMaster Bujold’s The Vor Game
tor.com 4/7/2009 — The Vor Game was Bujold’s first Hugo-winning novel, and it’s here that the series really hits its stride, and also where it (briefly) starts to look like a normal series. Chronologically, The Vor Game follows on from The Warrior’s Apprentice , ...
Weeping for her enemies: Lois McMaster Bujold’s Shards of Honor
tor.com 4/1/2009 — Kate Nepveu mentioned Bujold’s Vorkosigan saga as a series where the quality increased as they went on, and the more I thought about that the more I felt like reading them, and as today is a “mostly horizontal” day, I spent the morning with Shards ...
Quest for Ovaries: Lois McMaster Bujold’s Ethan of Athos
tor.com 4/3/2009 — Ethan of Athos is Lois McMaster Bujold’s third published novel and the third book in the Vorkosigan saga. It’s absolutely nothing like the other two. Athos is a planet where, like Mount Athos in Greece, women are not allowed. Ethan is an ...
All true wealth is biological: Lois McMaster Bujold’s Mirror Dance
tor.com 4/10/2009 — Mirror Dance is my favourite of the Vorkosigan series. It’s the third Hugo winner of the series, and Bujold’s third Hugo award-winning novel in a row.
It’s a very long book. It doesn’t look any longer than the others, but it’s 560 pages, in ...
Every day is a gift: Lois McMaster Bujold’s Winterfair Gifts
tor.com 4/20/2009 — All right, I can take a hint. I could have ignored the number of people here asking me if I was going to write about “ Winterfair Gifts ” but when the author herself sends me a copy! Thanks again, Lois!
“Winterfair Gifts” comes chronologically ...
She’s getting away! Lois McMaster Bujold’s A Civil Campaign
tor.com 4/16/2009 — A Civil Campaign (2000) is a another one that I don’t think stands alone, as it is in many ways a continuation of the emotional and romantic plot of Komarr (1998). The two books are now available in one convenient volume as Miles in Love .
