This question contains spoilers…
(view spoiler)[In Shards of Honor, what was the role of the chief surgeon as the second agent in Emperor Ezar’s plan? Surely not just to corroborate Aral’s opportunistic explanation to Illyan of obtaining the Plasma Mirror information from Cordelia under interrogation drugs too late to help or cancel the invasion (Cordelia’s capture could not have been foreseen). Something to do with the Prince?
Thanks! (hide spoiler)]

If you think it through like Ezar... and it says something about Cordelia that she could, it was to assure that if the Prince were rushed injured into surgery, he would not make it out alive.

Hi Lois! My student Pablo Sánchez's BA dissertation on 'Ethan of Athos' can be found here: http://ddd.uab.cat/record/180123. He's about to publish this in Spanish, in the online journal Hélice. And I'm teaching right now your novel to my English Studies undergrad students here at the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona. Any message for them? Best wishes, Sara

Reading Sharing Knife for the 4th or 5th time, and just finished the part where Dag sees inside the woman with appendicitis. I started thinking that was very similar to what Pen&Des can do. Then I realized that when Dag gives a 'ground reinforcement', it's almost exactly the same as Pen giving a dose of 'uphill magic'. Imagine my excitement! Have you ever thought that there are people who can actually do that?

Did you know the cloning aspects of the Vorkosigan Universe are used as examples by Hank Greely of Stanford's Center for Law And Biosciences? It's really wonderful to listen to him praise FALLING FREE (after 17:00, several places) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z-MIGpKYJDk
