On the subject of who could possibly play Miles in a Golden-Age TV adaptation, I've been struck by Alex Høgh Andersen's portrayal of "Ivar the Boneless" in Vikings, from mid-season 4 forward. He's born without the use of legs but becomes one of the most powerful figures in Vikings history. Unlike Miles, Ivar is a truly awful person--but charismatic and supremely determined. Maybe file this away in case HBO calls?

I am totally not up on modern actors and actresses, alas. I'll have to leave the perpetual casting thread to others. Enjoy...

(Spoilers for Cetaganda ahead!)
Every time I reread Cetaganda I pause at the part where Miles says bitterly, “It is the way of the haut” and she gives him a lock of her hair. Did I miss a whole lot of nuance, or did an editor cut a lot? Up until she gives him the bubble ride I thought she didn’t like him, considered him a creepy though smart and useful stalker. The atmosphere changes a bit then, but not that much.

Question 2? Have you (or your agent) thought of doing an Ebook box set with the correct reading order and all installments for an easy complete purchase? Even the Ebooks are kind of hard to scour through to find the right ones. I realize this isn't always simple with licensing rights and whatnot. To finish, thanks for writing what is one of my favorite universes to be immersed in. Cheers

Ms. Bujold -- I don't know if you've run across this news item, but of course I thought immediately of butterbugs. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/speaking-of-science/wp/2016/08/29/mealworm-margarine-could-be-right-around-the-corner-would-you-try-it/ Now all they have to do is make them glorious, right?
