about the author
Lois McMaster Bujold was born in 1949, the daughter of an engineering professor at Ohio State University, from whom she picked up her early interest in science fiction. She now lives in Minneapolis, and has two grown children. She began writing with the aim of professional publication in 1982. She wrote three novels in three years; in October of 1985, all three sold to Baen Books, launching her career. Bujold went on to write many other books for Baen, mostly featuring her popular character Miles Naismith Vorkosigan, his family, friends, and enemies.

Brothers in Arms Vorkosigan Saga eBook Lois McMaster Bujold
Lois McMaster Bujold has won numerous awards for her long-running Vorkosigan Saga. Given the light touch of her writing, the series might well be renamed Miles Vorkosigan's Excellent Adventures in the Galaxy. In the eighth book in the series, Brothers in Arms, the brilliant dwarf manages to insert himself into a series of life-threatening situations once again. Even more important, and far more unusual, Miles gets laid at last. This off-beat interstellar adventure story is charming to a fault.For some time now, Miles has secretly lived two lives. In one, he is Lord (now Lieutenant) Miles Vorkosigan, the only child of Admiral Lord Aral Vorkosigan, hero of a war with the Cetagandan Empire and now prime minister of the Barrayan Empire. Inhabiting his other identity, he is Admiral Miles Naismith, the military genius who heads up the 5,000-strong Dendarii Mercenaries. Miles' private space navy secretly is under contract with Barrayar's feared Imperial Security. The Dendarii are sent on missions where the involvement of Barrayar must be concealed.
In Brothers in Arms, the Dendarii have arrived in Earth orbit for medical attention and repairs in the wake of a successful military operation against the Cetagandan Empire. There is now a price on Miles' head in his guise as Admiral Naismith, and Cetagandan assassins are surely pursuing him. His plan is to arrange for payment from Imperial Security, grant home leave to his troops, see the sights, and squeeze in a little R-and-R on Earth. Earth, with its nine billion people, remains the most populous of the many worlds inhabited by humans throughout the galaxy. (There are no sapient aliens, bug-eyed monsters or not, in the Vorkosigan Saga.) The home planet is highly advanced technologically, on a par with Beta Colony, home of Miles' mother. And the planet is crammed with historical sights, such as Lake Los Angeles and the seawall protecting New York City.
Naturally, circumstances conspire to deflect Miles from his plan. After arriving on Earth, he becomes embroiled in a series of ever-more-perilous adventures involving his superior officer at the Barrayaran embassy—he is, after all, a mere lieutenant in the navy—and a large assortment of bad guys, including die-hard rebels from a planet Barrayar liberated from the Cetagandan Empire and heavily-armed troops from Cetaganda. And, yes, Miles falls in love once again, but this time his feelings are reciprocated. Can marriage be long in the future? Read the book to find out . . .

Brothers in Arms Vorkosigan Saga eBook Lois McMaster Bujold Reviews
I love this series so much
A very well written story. Compelling from beginning to end. Leaves the reader wanting more about Miles and Mark and Ellie to boot.
The plot is very clever. The characters were very interesting. The story was great!
Bujold can write. Can't believe I have to say that. If you have not tried her books, give yourself a treat and start reading. These are sci-fi but sort of space opera. Characters are so well drawn you feel you know them. Plots are involved but understandable and you just can't stop reading.
I am a huge fan of this series and Brothers in arms is easily the weakest book in the series. The storytelling is still wonderful, and the world great, but it's much more important for introducing several characters and concepts that will become important in later stories than it is as a stand alone novel itself. If you want to get into the Vorkosigan saga- start somewhere else. But don't skip it either. It's an important chapter in Miles' life- but not the most enjoyable.
How the heck did I miss reading any of these in SciFi reading career? I cut my teeth on Tom Swift, first editions I bought with lawn mowing income. This is hands down the best SciFi series of books I've ever read. I bought the first one and simply couldn't stop. The Flying Spaghetti monster only knows how many hours of sleep I missed and how much work time I procrastinated to read these books. I read them in the order the author recommended and they were right on target. Don't put it off, just buy them all now, tell your wife and kids goodbye and read your heart out.
Bujold is the master of universe building (no pun intended). The Vor world is rich and complex yet easy to follow. I was hooked decades ago with MOUNTAINS OF MOURNING. SHARDS OF HONOR and BARRAYAR blew me away. I love sci-fi that has characters that are so real that you feel you could reach out and touch them. And surprise as much as I love fantasy these stories are better because they are about humans of every flavor doing ,living, and dying without supernatural powers or gods or other whoo-whoo . This particular edition is beautiful, lovely fonts, super nice paper and a proper size for holding. It would be best to try and read the series in sequence but if you can't at least try for THE WARRIOR'S APPRENTICE as it is the best at explaining Miles. Bear in mind that that the series was not written in a linear time frame but as the author fleshed out her universe. There is actually a novella about an ancestor (FALLING FREE) that gives you the background for one of the "alternate" species of humans.
