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 over twenty languages.  Her fantasy from Eos includes the award-winning Chalion series and the Sharing Knife series.  In 2020, Bujold received the Damon Knight Grand Master Memorial Award from the Science Fiction Writers of America. www.dendarii.com

Satanicpuppy ,

L.M Bujold is astounding

And Miles Vorkosigan is one of the great characters of sci-fi.

The Vor Game is closer to the middle of the Vorkosigan saga, but it’s near the point where she hit her best stride. The first book I read (Brothers in Arms) was much later, and it was so good I immediately went back and read all the others.

Don’t buy this book though: they’re all available in Omnibus form (this one is included in the “Young Miles” book.)
