The Mountains of Mourning
A 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.
