Книга: Lois McMaster Bujold «Captain Vorpatril`s Alliance»
Производитель: "Schuster" A new installment in the award-winning Vorkosigan science fiction adventure series! Captain Ivan Vorpatril sometimes thinks that if not for his family, he might have no troubles at all. But he has the dubious fortune of the hyperactive Miles Vorkosigan as a cousin, which has too-often led to his getting dragged into one of Miles`schemes, with risk to life and limb - and military career - that Ivan doesn`t consider entirely fair. Although much practice has made Ivan more adept at fending off his mother`s less-than-subtle reminders that he should be getting married and continuing the Vorpatril lineage. Fortunately, his current duty is on the planet Komarr as staff officer to Admiral Desplains, far from both his cousin and his mother back on their homeworld of Barrayar. It`s an easy assignment and nobody is shooting at him. What could go wrong? ISBN:978-1-476-73698-3 Издательство: "Schuster" (2014)

There is considerable debate among readers as the best order to read the Vorkosigan series. Some favor reading in publication order, some in order of internal chronology, and some prefer other orders. This illustrates the widely held view that this series consists of independent works which nonetheless gain from their inter-relations.
The author has stated that her Miles Naismith Vorkosigan series structure is modeled after the

Lois Bujold wrote three books ("Shards of Honor", "Ethan of Athos" and "The Warrior's Apprentice") before "The Warrior's Apprentice" was accepted after four rejections. On the strength of "The Warrior's Apprentice",
She also wanted to break into the fantasy genre, but met with early setbacks. Her first foray into fantasy was "The Spirit Ring". She wrote the book "on spec", shopped it around, and found very low offers, forcing her to go back to Baen Books, where Jim Baen bought it for a fair price in exchange for the promise of more Vorkosigan books. Bujold called this experience, combined with the mediocre sales and lack of critical acclaim of that book, very educational.Fact|date=July 2008
She would not attempt to break into the fantasy market again for almost another decade, with "The Curse of Chalion". This book was also written on spec and offered up to a book auction. This time, she met with considerable critical and commercial success by tapping into a crossover market of fantasy and romance genre fans.
