I just finished all of your Vorkosigan books and I loved them! For the majority of them I listened to the audio version during my commute to and from work. There were to items that seem to have changed pronunciation as the series progressed. Dendarii changed from den-der-ee, to d den-der-ee-eye. Galeni changed from guh-len-eye to guh-len-ee. Can you tell me which are the most appropriate? Thanks! Andy

The recordings were made in different orders, some before the narrator was able to catch up with me for pronunciations. So I'm not surprised it's a bit random. Dendarii is den-DARE-ee, Galeni is gah-LEE-ni.

Hello! I am doing my first read through of the Vokosigan Saga, and in The Vor Game, there is the Laskowski base. In High School, I had a math teacher/mentor/friend, George Laskowski, who also wrote a sci-fi zone, Lan's Lantern. Is this base named for him? If so, that's quite an honor (and a well deserved one, in my opinion. He was a great person), from such a distinguished author as yourself!

Heard about the EM Drive? Invention appears to defy classical mechanics by producing thrust from energy without using propellant, which violates conservation of momentum. NASA is testing and so far hasn't managed to disprove it - in other words, continues to validate the invention. Could lead to viable space travel. http://www.nasaspaceflight.com/2015/04/evaluating-nasas-futuristic-em-drive/

Not really a question, but something I thought you might find interesting. Based on my buying Prisoner of Limnos, Amazon thinks I would like Sunday's Child by Grace Craven, Snowspelled by Stephanie Burgis, Quillifer by Walter Jon Williams, Paladin of Souls by somebody or other, The Mongrel Saga by LE Modesitt, Ballista by Steven Brust, Forged in Fire by Olan Thorensen, and Book Night on Union Station by EMFoner. ?
