Average Rating: 
Rating:  - well worth reading
Much better than the estrogen drenched Brother in Arms. Rivals, albeit in different fashion, gender challenges of William Barton's novels.
Rating: - Good Miles Vorkosigan Omnibus
MILES, MYSTERY & MAYHEM (2001) is an omnibus edition, featuring three stories related to the "Miles Vorkosigan Universe". These series of stories can best be described as Science Fiction Murder Mysteries - with Miles Vorkosigan usually being at the center of attention in the stories, to play a kind of "Columbo in Space"... Miles was born with a number of birth defects caused by his mother being exposed to poison during her pregnancy with Miles - which have basically left him as "a weak runt"... ... Read More
Rating:  - The third compilation book based on the Vorkisigian Family
Miles is safely graduated from the academy, but also firmly entrenched in Security. This is 2 novels and 1 short story. The first, Cetaganda, is Miles at his operating without a net best.

Rating:  - Another Omnibus edition representing the best and worst of the series.
Miles, Mystery & Mayhem is the third omnibus (collection of works combined into one book) in Bujold's Vorkosigan series. These collections feature events that take place in chronological order but were written in non-chronological order. Many debates have arisen regarding the best way to read Bujold's Vorkorsigan adventures but I agree with the overwhelming popular choice of reading them in the chronological order of events. This collection features Ceteganda, Ethan of Ethos and the novella The Labyrinth. ... Read More
