Works
The roots of the Vorkosigan Saga lie in an early short story by Bujold, "Dreamweaver's Dilemma", which features a planet called Beta Colony and a character with the last name of Naismith. When beginning her first novel, Shards of Honor, Bujold incorporated these elements, but greatly expanded. She followed that up with the second novel with the same setting, The Warrior's Apprentice then worked on Ethan of Athos. After being rejected by four publishers, The Warrior's Apprentice was accepted by Baen Books, who agreed to a three-book deal to include the two other novels.
Shards of Honor and Barrayar concern Miles' parents, while "Dreamweaver’s Dilemma" concerns a distant ancestor of Cordelia Naismith, Ethan of Athos involves a few minor characters from other Vorkosigan novels, and Falling Free does not involve Miles or any of his family, though in a later novel, Miles encounters the descendants of the characters from Falling Free . While all the books and novellas are currently in print as ebooks, in America they are in print as omnibus editions.
