![]() ![]() Reading Shards of Honour, I have to reluctantly adopt the traditional British stance of not seeing what all the fuss is about. Repeated attempts to publish the series here have failed, usually due to low sales and indifferent reviews. The series has sold more than two million copies for Baen Books in the States, but is almost unknown in the UK. ![]() ![]() Comprising (so far) fifteen novels and numerous short stories and novellas, the series has won four Hugos (including three for Best Novel), been nominated for another six and has won an additional two Locus Awards and two Nebulas. The Vorkosigan Saga is one of the most famous ongoing works of science fiction in the United States. However, Vorkosigan himself is facing a prospective mutiny led by an ambitious junior officer and both Beta and Barrayar are about to find themselves on opposing sides of a bloody war. Naismith is captured by Captain Aral Vorkosigan, the infamous Butcher of Komarr, and taken on a gruelling cross-country journey to his base camp. Cordelia Naismith, commander of a survery ship from Beta Colony, is marooned on an uncharted planet when her vessel is attacked by Barryarans. ![]()
