abstract
  • The Vorkosigan Saga is a series of science fiction novels and short stories by Lois McMaster Bujold, most of which concern Miles Naismith Vorkosigan, a physically disabled aristocrat from the planet Barrayar whose life (from before birth), military career, and post-military career is a challenge to his native planet's prejudices against "mutants." The novels The Vor Game, Barrayar, and Mirror Dance each won the Hugo Award for Best Novel, and "The Mountains of Mourning" won the Hugo Award for Best Novella; Falling Free, Memory, A Civil Campaign, and Cryoburn were nominated but did not win. Similarly, "Winterfair Gifts" was nominated for Best Novella. The stories are listed in order of chronology, rather than publication date. Shards of Honor and Barrayar concern Miles' parents, while "Dreamweaver's Dilemma", Falling Free and Ethan of Athos are set in the same universe as the other books but do not involve Miles or any of his family. Lois Bujold wrote two books (Shards of Honor and The Warrior's Apprentice) and was working on a third (Ethan of Athos) before The Warrior's Apprentice was accepted (after four rejections). On the strength of The Warrior's Apprentice, Baen Books agreed to a three-book deal to include the two other novels. It was the second novel written in the series, after Shards of Honor. See Vorkosigan Saga timeline for the standard timeline of the saga.
