Two Qs - who's the Vorhalas referred to in Mirror Dance as potential PM to replace Aral? The Count seems too old and I'm not sure who else there is! Are there other Serg offspring who might cause problems for Gregor? I also have a theory that Ezar is Gregor's father, but wouldn't mind a rejection of it so I can let it go! I figure that Ezar might have "worked with" Kareen as part of the anti-Serg plan is all.

The Vorhalas is some other Vorhalas. It's not as rare a name as Vorkosigan.
No other Serg offspring, although the Escobar mess offers possibilities for AU fanfic. Ditto alternate fathers for Gregor, but really, with DNA typing, paternity is not something one can conceal -- even in the 21st Century, let alone the 30th. (For the AU fanfic, also consider Aral... heh.)

Have you read Run with the Horsemen, by Ferrol Sams? The protagonist is Miles, by another name and in another time and place. Your characters (and those of Dr. Sams) are brilliant, surprising, and so endearing as to make the craziness of their lives seem reasonable. Thank you for sharing your great gift with me and, I guess, the rest of the world.

Please be kind. In Captain Vorpatril's Alliance, early on we are shown a typical day for Ivan. We are told that he goes through the mail and he identifies the various snakes mailed to his office. Some are dangerous, some are dead, some are really worms that were mistaken for snakes, etc. Until this point I don't recall hearing about Ivan studying herpetology. Was this a metaphor? The mail has threats to assess?
