Part 1 of another couple of questions from me … split into two because of the space limitation. Up to the end of CVA, there are a few hints that Alys and Simon *might* consider getting married at some point. I would love to know more about what they are thinking. Also, other characters speculate about them using the replicator to have biological kid(s) of their own, but Simon and Alys never seem to mention it?

In order to answer this question and the following -- which is going to get separated btw -- I would have to stop and make stuff up. Which I am disinclined to do just at the moment. Perfectly reasonable question, mind, and I'm pleased that the characters seem real enough to you that you're still thinking about them after the book is closed, but working through the many possibilities seems more a task for the ficcers, who routinely work in multiverses.

Do you have a favorite historical mystery series? I really like how Penric #2&3 reminded me of the atmosphere of the above genre. Penric's Fox especially made me realize how cool of a combo fantasy and mystery can be. Same with the Bastard cult mystery in the beginning of Cazaril's story. Happy Holidays, Elto

Lois McMaster Bujold:
“The Mountains of Mourning” shows the Barrayan system in action. In the case of someone getting disappeared by ImpSec, the only recourse would seem to be to be family/friends going to their Count and asking him to intervene, which would probably mean him going to the emperor, as ImpSec seems to be operating without any restraint except from the Emperor & Auditors. That suggests ImpSec has a fairly recent origin?
