THE VOR GAMEThis worked much better as a mystery than 'The Mountains Of Mourning' - which may have well been a dummy run for this book - and proves that Bujold is a master mystery writer. Filled with political intrigue and swashbuckling derring do, this proves to be much more in the realms of the later novels.
THE MOUNTAINS OF MOURNING
This novella is basically a murder mystery that works well enough but could have worked better if it had been incorporated into a full book. It also foreshadows Miles future as he works as the voice of his father.
LABYRINTH
This novella introduces one of the most interesting characters in the Vorkosigan saga, Taura - a gentically engineered human-wolf hybrid of sorts - but suffers due to its short length. A little expansion or inclusion in a larger story may have improved this tale.
THE BORDERS OF INFINITY
This wasn't my favourite of the Miles Vorkosigan stories, probably because I'd just read Labyrinth and really wanted a full-length Miles story. The plot is good enough, btu there just wasn't enough substance to keep my interest going, seeing as I knew just how short the story would be.

Miles Vorkosigan by Bujold - what more needs to be said - I have this in ebook format in my Dropbox account so I can access it anywhereThe cover of this omnibus is a hilarious trainwreck. Miles with a mullet, eh? But, who am I to judge a book by it's cover? I've read all these stories before, but the humor and twists are still just as delightful.The Vor Game doesn't end where you'd expect it to. The first few chapters were originally published as the short story "The Weatherman", and it does feel separate from the rest of the narrative. At any rate, the novel involves mystery and a daring rescue, resolved haphazardly in a very

It is quite difficult to read Bujold's work in order. However these collection books make the process quite easy!
Contains The Vor Game, Borders of Infinity, and The Mountains of Mourning. Miles Vorkosigan's very first assignment after graduating from the academy is as meteorological officer at Ice Station Zebra. He is sent to address his recurring problems with insubordination. He is not very successful. As the new Chief Weatherman for the camp he has never taken a single course in meteorology and nearly freezes to death. Twice. Most of the rest of the time Miles acts as Admiral Naismith. He reattaches
I've now read about 5 of the Vorkosigan books and enjoyed them. Everyone is different, even though about the same world and the same hero. Bujold is an imaginative writer; these books have an underlying theme of discrimination but also good plots full of adventure.
