I just reread "Diplomatic Immunity" for the umpteenth time and wondered if you ever had any plans to write a story about what the Cetagandan Star Crèche might have ended up doing with Miles' blood sample/genome? The first time I read it back in 2002 I hoped they would somehow be able to use it to make his body much better.

I'd think they'd want his brains, but, nature, nurture, not to mention nutrition. Replicating Miles would be a lot harder than just copying his DNA. I don't think the Cetagandans have any particular motivation to gratuitously extend his life.
As far as medical aid goes, I'd think Miles would be a lot more comfortable going to Beta Colony. We don't actually know that he hasn't...
Anyway, I have no plans for such a tale at this time.

Is there a listing somewhere that gives the Vokosigan Saga in the order it was published? I started reading the series on the recommendation of a co-worker, and the library provided Mirror Dance and Memory. Going forward from there I read them in publication order, but that's not very different from the internal chronology. I collected the earlier books over time, and read them as flashbacks.
