 * In this volume you will find two novels and a novella from what, due to my reluctance to coin a suitably imposing-sounding series name, its fans have eventually dubbed “the Vorkosiverse,” after its most memorable and central (but far from only) character and his family.

 * I have a theory that that's one of the functions of lung-running series. It's not just art, which is between you and the artist, it's also gossip, between you and other people. Certainly I have discussed these books a lot. With a long series where details and information and events reflect on other volumes, there's more to discuss because there's more context. There's more gossip. The Vorkosiverse is very open to gossip, about the characters, about the history, about the details.
