Lois McMaster Bujold was born in 1949, the daughter of an engineering professor at Ohio State University, from whom she picked up her early interest in science fiction. She now lives in Minneapolis, and has two grown children. She began writing with the aim of professional publication in 1982. She wrote three novels in three years; in October of 1985, all three sold to Baen Books, launching her career. Bujold went on to write many other books for Baen, mostly featuring her popular character Miles Naismith Vorkosigan, his family, friends, and enemies. Her books have been translated into twenty-one languages. Her fantasy from Eos includes the award-winning Chalion series and the Sharing Knife series.

LOVE LOVE LOVE her Miles series. He solves his problems by out thinking his opponents and outside of all boxes.

His home world is military minded so the stories have some violence, but not an over abundance and any sex is talked of but no graphic descriptions. Miles gets into the middle of a mess and the mystery is how he can get out of it with the least amount of damage.

The first story is set after the Warrior's Apprentice, and is him out thinking a murderer. No sex, the murder is before the story, and minimal violence. The second and third stories are set before Brothers in Arms. Miles is "picking up" a scientist who has lost track of his life's work and won't leave without it - always expect complications with Miles involved. The same with the next story - he is to get one prisoner of war out of a jail, but decides he is breaking out all the prisoners instead.

Borders of Infinity 3novella collection Vorkosigan Saga eBook Lois McMaster Bujold Reviews


I usually can't stand short stories because I just NEED that lengthy feel of a novel to be able to get into the author's mind. But from reading Bujold's previous works, it was no problem to get the feel of Miles' world - I already knew it by heart.
Ironically enough, I think Bujold has done her best characterization in the Borders of Infinity and in Ethan of Athos - her shortest works. At times the tone is light-hearted but the overriding themes were truly compelling.
I LOVE Borders of Infinty (the short story), I love it, love it, LOVE IT - Especially the moment when Miles bows down with the hat and does that poetic dance in front of the women.
I can't believe how well and how completely Bujold created a world within the dome. Read it, you'll know what I mean.
In a society that spent hundreds of years killing off "Muties", the genetically damaged children of parents who's great-great-grandfathers were exposed to radiation during the nuclear holocaust that threw this civilization back to the stone age, Miles looks like one of their number. But he isn't; his warped and damaged body was created because his mother was subjected to a chemical attack while he was in the womb, and the chemical poisons damaged his fetal development. His earliest memory is waking up to find his own grandfather trying to strangle him to death to cleanse the "impure genes" from his bloodline, only stopped by his father. The world Miles was born into has been once more rediscovered by the star faring humanity who originally settled it, and the imperial houses who rule his planet are fighting for their place and survival among the stars. Miles has a head start on the process, since he had to fight harder than that just to be able to live to maturity, and some in the government recognize the value in his style and techniques.

This collection of short stories gives you a peek at how he developed over the years, and what some of the challenges he faced were. It gives you the flavor of the Vorkosigan universe, and most of all it gives you some wonderful stories about someone who refused to turn aside just because the going got tough, and solved every one of the problems he ran into with his wits. Lois McMaster Bujold is an amazing author, and for me, this is flat out her best series.
Dear Readers!

I started reading this series back in the late 1980's while still working offshore. A 12 hour shift was disappeared immediately! Just this winter I rediscovered them and found several stories I had not read. 20-25 years experiences and well over a decade in Balkans and Eastern Europe make me appreciate the depth of research and cultural sharing that support a Superb Storyteller!

I recommend Heartily, especially to youngsters who are following a Science-Math-Tech career, for the depth of humanity, the rich pattern of describing a primitive physical culture assimilating high tech lifestyle and values, and "Just Plain Fun"!
Normally, I dislike reading short stories there's just no time to fully flesh out the characters. However, in this case, since these are part of the Miles Vorkosigan saga (and we're all familiar with him, his background, and his environment by now), I loved them. Each of the three short stories in the collection ("The Mountains of Mourning," "Labyrinth," and "The Borders of Infinity") are about 100 pages long, very interesting, and very well done. These short stories are also not peripheral to Miles' story. They seem to be covering central aspects of Miles and the Dendarii. The only downside to the book is that the three stories, though published in this one book, take place between different sets of the major books. Specifically, the first of the short stories happens during the short gap between Miles' graduation from the Academy and his first military assignment (i.e., between The Warrior's Apprentice and The Vor Game). While the second and third stories occur after Cetaganda and before Brothers in Arms. Nothing insurmountable, but it's disconcerting. I rate it an excellent 5 stars out of 5.
How the heck did I miss reading any of these in SciFi reading career? I cut my teeth on Tom Swift, first editions I bought with lawn mowing income. This is hands down the best SciFi series of books I've ever read. I bought the first one and simply couldn't stop. The Flying Spaghetti monster only knows how many hours of sleep I missed and how much work time I procrastinated to read these books. I read them in the order the author recommended and they were right on target. Don't put it off, just buy them all now, tell your wife and kids goodbye and read your heart out.
