Do the Cetagandans have a "commoner" class? The haut and the ghem are featured, but unlike Barrayar, there's no mention of any kind of commoner / grubber / prole worker class.

Vast cities are described; who do you think lives there?! Not to mention who built all that. And does all the other everyday work that keeps a high-tech society running, much of which is not very high-tech.
"Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence." Turning that around, evidence galore should surely be evidence of presence, even if not many get speaking parts in the highly focused story you see.

Hello! I like your Vorkosigan Saga stories very much. But did not find any Ukrainian translations of them. Do you have any official Ukrainian translations? And if you do not have any yet, than are you OK if I 'll translate the "Shards of Honor" for the beginning? Thanks! Best Regards, Eugene Bitukov.

I am a new author. On the self-publishing journey, but don't really have a burning ?. Just saw your name and wanted to say "Thank you!" I love your writing in general and your Vorkosigan series sits next to Sherlock Holmes and Harry Dresden on my most beloved reads shelf. Actually, since my eyes aren't what they used to be, I will add that I am very pleased you found such a good narrator in Grover!
