Vorkosigan Saga:
The Vorkosigan Saga is a series of science fiction novels and short
stories set in a common fictional universe by American author Lois McMaster
Bujold. Bujold’s approach varies, sometimes crossing genres. All the novels
include humor and comedy, sometimes very black and juxtaposed with tragic
deaths or losses. She mixes military adventure, political thriller, romance,
and the whodunit in various proportions.
