Space Opera, Miles and Me

Lois McMaster Bujold has posted an essay about the relationship between one of her most popular characters (Miles Vorkosigan) and the much-maligned science fiction sub-genre of space opera.

In one of those strange but true moments, I started re-reading (for the first time in a long time) Shards of Honor. Whether this leads to a re-reading of the rest of the series, we shall see.

Free read! Baen Books has the short work The Mountains of Mourning available to be read online or in multiple download formats. (Baen Books has the complete series in print, or coming back into print, including the previously scarce tale Winterfair Gifts.)

Addendum (November 8, 2007): Another Bujold interview makes an appearance.
