In her first trial by fire, Cordelia Naismith captained a throwaway ship of the Betan Expeditionary Force on a mission to destroy an enemy armada. Discovering deception within deception, treachery within treachery, she was forced into a separate peace with her chief opponent, Lord Aral Vorkosigan - he who was called "The Butcher of Komarr" - and would consequently become an outcast on her own planet and the Lady Vorkosigan on his. Sick of combat and betrayal, she was ready to settle down to a quiet life, interrupted only by the occasional ceremonial appearances required of the Lady Vorkosigan. But when the Emperor died, Aral suddenly became guardian of the infant heir to the imperial throne of Barrayar - and the target of high-tech assassins in a dynastic civil war that was reminiscent of earth's Middle Ages, but fought with up-to-the minute biowar technology. Neither Aral nor Cordelia guessed the part that their cell-damaged unborn son would play in Barrayar's bloody legacy. This edition includes an author's afterword, and a chronology of the events in the Vorkosigan Saga series. Cover art by Gary Ruddell.

Column Regarding Books Cordelia's Honor (Vorkosigan Saga (Publication Order) #1 & 7)

Shards of Honor The first of the Vorkosigan books surprised me by being more of a romance novel than I was expecting, but I don't begrudge it. It was actually refreshing to read a romance plot that didn't fall into the overused "Pride and Prejudice" formula. Bujold doesn't waste any time trying to make us think her heroine despises the hero, and he doesn't waste the whole novel bending heaven and earth to impress her. They both have their own lives and their own problems - namely that they're

This is a collection of two novels which tell a single story, Shards Of Honor and Barrayar. Shards Of Honor is Bujold's first book and, judged in that light, it's very, very good. Judged against the rest of the Vorkosigan series, however, it comes off less well. The ingredients are there, physical adventure and well-thought out characters bouncing off each other, but they don't jell the way they do even in Bujold's second book, The Warrior's Apprentice (in the Young Miles omnibus).Cordelia

I like science fiction. I read a lot of it. Cordelias Honor, on the surface, seems a standard science fiction novel with just a dash of romance. It has the customary interstellar war, political intrigue, and, of course, high-tech gadgets that weve come to expect from our sci-fi. What makes this book special is its title character, Cordelia Naismith.Cordelia is not the clichéd woman you see in most science fiction. She doesnt just cling to the arm of her leading man (which would be easy to do,

Lets all agree on this right up front: the covers of the Vorkosigan Saga books are horrible. Just plain awful. The cover art for anything published by Baen is pretty bad, enough to make even the proud nerds of today cringe and place the book face-down whenever possible to avoid being snickered at. But these covers in particular, with their dramatic poses and odd retro fonts, seem to house a strange breed of quasi-historical space pulp that embodies everything that serious readers should avoid.

I'm already finished with Shards of Honor and it's a much more gritty military book on the re-read. They really de-constructed Cordelia, especially at home. I wonder how many soldiers returning from war have similar experiences. I'm reading Barrayar too, but already dreading the poisoning scene.One huge advantage of this ebook edition is the afterword by LMB who mentions the main threads in the story she wrote and you really can see the thought of parents and children and what you sacrifice for

Lois McMaster Bujold is an author I have been meaning to read for the longest time, she has won so many major sf awards it is clear that she must be some kind of major talent in the field. However it took me years and years to get around to picking up one off her books simply because the synopsis of her Vorkosigan series never seem all that interesting to me. Fortunately for me Lois has graciously decided to make most of her Vorkosigan books available for FREE in digital formats on her publisher

I'm not going to lie guys, I didn't like Shades of Honor which is the first book in this bind up. I thought the story moved a little too fast to the point characters were lacking development. The romance was bland and the plot is one I read in hundred of books in multiple genres. I didn't understand why people like Lois Bujold so much. Why do people say she's the Queen of Scifi if this is her best work? The only thing keeping me from dnfing the series was a short story at the end called
