The Mountains of Mourning
May. 28th, 2002 06:54 pmA quick post to note that Lois M. Bujold, one of my favored SF writers, has put one of her novellas, The Mountains of Mourning, in the Baen Free Library. It's a pretty good story, from the point of view of focus on its character (Miles Vorkosigan), and from being a mystery story. Short enough to read on-screen, too. Definitely worth a look.
Kind of interesting that she put it up, though. According to a NY Times article from last year, she and her agent weren't certain that making a book available for free was a wise thing to do. Perhaps she's testing the waters by this release.
Anyway, it's a cool story.
