A NEW EDITION OF A COLLECTION OF LANDMARK NOVELLAS IN THE VORKOSIGAN SAGA. NEW YORK TIMES BEST-SELLING AUTHOR WITH 2.5 MILLION BOOKS IN PRINT. Three Miles Vorkosigan Adventures! "The Mountains of Mourning" is a Hugo & Nebula award-winning novella. Just after graduating from military academy, Ensign Miles must take on one of his duties as a Barrayaran Vor Lord by acting as detective and judge in a back-country murder case. In "Labyrinth," Miles travels to Jackson's Whole on a covert mission for Barrayar as Dendarii Mercenary Admiral Naismith. His mission to rescue a top research geneticist is complicated by the doctor's insistence that one of his experimental creatures be destroyed first. "The Borders of Infinity" finds Miles in a Cetagandan prison camp. But why is he there? How does he handle captivity? And will he make it out alive? About Lois McMaster Bujold's Vorkosigan Saga: "The pace is breathless, the characterization thoughtful and emotionally powerful, and the author's narrative technique and command of language compelling. Highly recommended."--Booklist "[The Warrior's Apprentice] would work just fine . . . as the introduction to the series as a whole. I suspect that anybody who reads one will be as charmed as I was and want to pick up the rest."--SF Site "If you love solid space opera rooted in strong character, you can't go wrong . . . The Warrior's Apprentice already displays the craft and the heart which would soon make Lois McMaster Bujold one of the most feted talents in SF."--SF Reviews About Vorkosigan series entry Diplomatic Immunity: "Bujold is adept at world-building and provides a witty, character-centered plot, full of exquisite grace notes . . . fans will be thoroughly gripped and likely to finish the book in a single sitting."--Publishers Weekly The Vorkosigan Series in Story-based Chronological Order Falling Free Shards of Honor Barrayar The Warrior's Apprentice The Vor Game Cetaganda Ethan of Athos Borders of Infinity Brothers in Arms Mirror Dance Memory Komarr A Civil Campaign Diplomatic Immunity Captain Vorpatril's Alliance Cryoburn Gentleman Jole and the Red Queen

I listened to these three novellas featuring Miles Vorkosigan on audio, with excellent narration from Grover Gardner. It was a reread for me, and just as enjoyable the first time around!

The last novella in this collection is so good! I just walked around the park like 😳wondering how Miles was going to get himself out of this one.

leslieisreading @Booksandcooks when I was out walking it was in the low to mid 90s, but I am fortunate to live in a place where those temps are not really a big deal in the shade. I'll definitely take it! 7y

Summer is coming! Did my best to stick to shaded areas during my audiobook walking today.

In the first story of this novella collection, Miles' primary mode of transportation is a horse named Fat Ninny, who is actually a very good horse. 😂

Using the Overdrive app on my phone for the first time. For years I've been listening to books on my old iPod, because it doesn't know when my books expire. That's been important as I've only been listening on my lunchtime walks, and it usually takes me more than 3 weeks. I'm getting frustrated with how slowly I get through books, so I decided it's time to cut back on podcasts and up my audiobook game. I love how easy it is to download new books!
