Brothers in Arms

Brothers in Arms is a novel in the Miles Vorkosigan Adventures by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Admiral Naismith (aka. Miles Vokosigan) and the Dendarii mercenaries are taking a well-earned rest at Earth. Did I say rest? Ha! There's never any rest for Miles, who's forced to juggle his identities, the Dendarii's financial situation, his love life, the press and a mercenary job to kidnap himself!

Shards of Honor
by Lois McMaster Bujold
Shards of Honor is a novel in the Miles Vorkosigan Adventures by Lois McMaster Bujold.
This is the first book by McMaster that I've read that isn't about Miles Vorkosigan. It is about Miles's mother and father and the story of how they met and fell in love.
Shards of honor takes place during the Betan/Barrayaran war, but Bujold never looses her grip on the characters and keep them central to the story and the war becomes something of a background tapestry to the ...
Komarr
by Lois McMaster Bujold
Komarr is a novel in the Miles Vorkosigan Adventures series by Lois McMaster Bujold.
Probably the strongest book yet in the continuing saga of Miles Vorkosigan. Bujold has moved a step beyond her usual "let's keep it simple and stick to Miles' point-of-view" for this story and is letting one of the other character do some of the story telling for once. It gives her a chance to tell a story that gets far more complicated and interesting than the usual stuff she (not that the oth...
Memory
by Lois McMaster Bujold
Memory is a science fiction novel in the Miles Vorkosigan Adventures series by Lois McMaster Bujold.
On an otherwise successful mission Miles Naismith (a.k.a. Admiral Naismith a.k.a. Lord Miles Vorkosigan) have a seizure and nearly cuts the rescued hostage in half. Miles has to go home and become Lord Vorkosigan until he finds out what's wrong with his head (there are other reasons too, but I don't want to spoil it for you). Soon he's in the middle of an investigation about a p...
Mirror Dance
by Lois McMaster Bujold
Mirror Dance is a science fiction novel by the author Lois McMaster Bujold.
A friend gave this to me to read after I had given him Use of Weapons by Banks, and again I'm positively surprised at how many excellent writers there are out there - all of which have written tons of books, just waiting for me to read them.
The front page of Mirror Dance has a banner on it that says "A Vorkosigan Adventure" and in the back of the book there's a time line that describes ...
Cetaganda
by Lois McMaster Bujold
Cetaganda is a science fiction novel in the Miles Vorkosigan Adventures series by Lois McMaster Bujold.
This time Miles go to Cetaganda to attend the funeral of the Empress and ends up in a lot of trouble (now where have I heard that before?). The Cetagandan empire is build on a power division between the Haut-Lords and the Haut-Ladies and through strange circumstances Miles ends up with the key to this power struggle.
Cetaganda is as well written and as action p...
Falling Free
by Lois McMaster Bujold
Falling Free is a science fiction novel by the award winning American author Lois McMaster Bujold and takes place within the Vorkosigan Saga.
Taking place in the same universe as the Vorkosigan adventures, but not featuring any of our beloved characters, for the simple reason that Falling Free takes place a couple of hundred years before the birth of Miles Vorkosigan. Leo Graf gets the job teaching some Quaddies space welding and construction. Quaddies are gen-modified humans a...
The Vor Game
by Lois McMaster Bujold
The Vor Game is a science fiction novel by the author Lois McMaster Bujold.
The Vor Game takes place in the same universe as Mirror Dance and it has the same main character - only it takes place before Mirror Dance, so I would recommend that you read The Vor Game first.
The Vor Games starts when Miles Vorkosian leaves the Military Academy and gets his first assignment - being of noble family he expects to get ship duty, but because of his missing ability to take...
Two things are infinite; the universe and human stupidity; and i’m not sure about the universe
