Hope springs eternal but I think this might be a closed issue. Thankfully, I have the wonderful Grover Gardner narrated audiobooks and can revisit when I need a fix. I don't think I will ever tire of A Civil Campaign.
Would you then have a recommendation for space mysteries with a strong emphasis on characters?
I read a lot of SF and Fantasy but admit to not having found anything that might even come close to a substitute. After all, I don't *insist* on Miles. Ethan worked quite well for me too ;-).
I am really more of a mystery and fantasy reader rather than SF. Which is why I came so late to the Vorkosigan saga and devoured them. But here goes on your question...Jim Butcher's Dresden Files and particularly his Codex Aleta series. And I love all of Juliet Marillier's work.
Let's keep in mind that there is no such thing as enough of Vorkosigan universe, that said. You are the boss and certainly know when it is quitting time. I am very happy with Penric.
"Isn't 17 books enough? It seems like a lot to me..."
Ridiculous assertion ;-)
This means the 5 Gods should have 18 books! ^^
I hope that at some point you find a place for the butter bug/Vorkosigan Vashnoi story you shared during your CPA book tour. I was excited to see what Miles and Ekaterin could do with a renewed Vashnoi.
Oh, yes, if something already exists, even a bit raw, those of us who weren't able to make the book tour would love to know more.
I agree with Joseph. I'd love to read about how the butter bugs saved Vorkosigan Vashnoi. ..By-the-way have you ever asked a chocoholic if 17 pieces of candy were enough? I can understand that the Vorkosigan saga is finished in your mind. However, please don't fault your fans for wanting more of a great thing and keeping on bugging you about it. Thank you so much for the 17. Each is a treasured gift.
There is no such thing as too many when it comes to the Vorkosiverse. I love all the books and reread them yearly, and would love to see more!
It would be great to have some more Miles to read... if inspiration strikes. The next generation offer interesting possibilities.
How about some shorter Miles stories, on the Penric model? Perhaps ...Miles and Simon swapping war stories after dinner - Simon still remembers some interesting details of Miles' career - when they're interrupted by one of the (grown up) children who needs advice about a problem they've gotten into... they're now old enough to hear about some of the worse problems their father survived; we get to listen in?
