Hi there Lois, I was wondering if you think you will ever go back to see what's happened on Athos? That's the biggest cliffhanger of the series, to me...
Lois McMaster Bujold
I have no plans to do so at this time.
I was a bit sorry that I'd given my universe such a very 60s-Analog element, although in my defense I did give it a non-magical physical substrate. ("There are no effects without causes" and all that.) I'd have to think of something different to do with a rather well-worked-over trope.
(There was a good book by Rebecca (R. M.) Meluch that did some pretty interesting things with a telepath... can't recall the title offhand. It might have been The Queen's Squadron or it might have been another.... (quick Amazon check -- yeah, that was it.) Downer ending, though. She does good work -- check out her books.)

Dear Lois, I really enjoy getting to read all your reviews, answers to questions, and other posts here on Goodreads! Thank you. I just read The Flowers of Vashnoi and am curious - were the characters and plot centered around the radioactive zone at all influenced by the 3-11 Fukushima reactor meltdown incident in Japan (as it still continues to pan out, and the various effects are being felt/researched/etc)?

Hi, huge fan here. Do you have any idea why ebook versions of the Penric & Des novellas are not available on Libby/Overdrive, but the audiobooks are? I'm on several libraries and the only ebook is "Penric's Demon." Usually there is an option to recommend books that your library does not have, but it's like the rest of the ebooks aren't even in Overdrive's system, even though they exist on amazon.
