Oh heavens, don’t let Hollywood within 10 light years of Vorkosigan! They’d make Miles six feet tall and give him a romantic limp. 10 to 1 they’d ditch Quinn, shack him up with Bel, and we’d be lucky if it was less than 90% action sequences.

Honor Harrington, on the other hand, just might survive intact. I’d actually like to see that....

(Sigh) I know. Once upon a time I thought Michael J. Fox would make a good Miles but after the hatchet job SCIFI made of Earthsea...ech. Some books are better left as books.

If you like Honor Harrington, you may want to try the Kris Longknife books by Mike Shepherd (aka Mike Moscoe). His earlier works aren't good but he gets better and better with Longknife. Kris (imho) is a very different character with her own baggage (literally) she has to drag through the Navy. It's not as hard in the military department but it's still great fun.
