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.

(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.

I bet Michael J Fox would have done a good Miles. And though I know it’s a bad idea, I secretly long to have a good film version of Paladin of Souls. Some things are just not meant to be, I guess.

I’ve been on an Elizabeth Moon kick lately, the Paksenarrion books first, and now I’m on the Vatta’s War series. Very enjoyable! I’ll have to look those Kris Longknife books up. I’m running out of new material :)
