I'll have the review of BARRAYAR up in a day or two.

It takes place several hundred years before Cordelia, Aral, and Miles. BTW, I just went over to your profile page. Wow! I din't know that you were following me. Thank you. The link to your advice will be up in just a little while.

I prefer the very first paperback cover from June 1986. If you scroll down here: http://www.fantasticfiction.co.uk/b/lois-mcmaster-bujold/shards-of-honor.htm you will see all the covers, including that one. You did a good job of expressing how very special that book is. I look forward to your thoughts on Barrayar.Jenny Schwartzberghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06346217514073560797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000178748848462351.post-8716314999059662112008-11-13T10:43:00.000-06:002008-11-13T10:43:00.000-06:00I have almost the full set of Miles Vorkosigan boo...I have almost the full set of Miles Vorkosigan books in my to-read pile...but I'm having trouble figuring out which book is the first in the series.

LMB's books simply have passages that are good to go back to again and again, just to think about. You are so right about few people thinking about the cost of protecting society. It's a sad toll for everyone concerned.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08340332869249455215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7000178748848462351.post-27659867985065874322008-11-12T08:39:00.000-06:002008-11-12T08:39:00.000-06:00There's a line from that book that really haunts m...There's a line from that book that really haunts me:<BR/><BR/>"Any community’s arm of force—military, police, security—needs people who can do the necessary evil, and yet not be made evil by it. To do only the necessary, and no more. To constantly question the assumptions, to stop the slide into atrocity."<BR/><BR/>We need to think about that now. We may always need to think about it. But how few leaders do...J.J.
