Dreamweaver's Dilemma [B0368]

2000 PB printing of the 1996 original, in gift-worthy condition. From four-time Hugo Award-winning American speculative fiction writer Lois McMaster Bujold, a collection of essays and stories including "Dreamweaver's Dilemma", a previously unpublished novelette set early in the author's Hugo Award-winning Vorkosigan universe saga. Also includes the Hugo Award-winning 'The Mountains of Mourning', a never-before published Sherlock Holmes pastiche, an interview with Lois McMaster Bujold, a Suford Lewis's Vorkosigan genealogy, and more. With cover art by Bob Eggleton.

From recent Amazon/GoodReads reviews: "I was expecting more of the Vorkosigan saga than was included, but my disappointment was mild. It is a collection of short early fiction, short essays on writing, and a wonderful long interview with Bujold. An enjoyable collection over all. The Vorkosigan saga novella, "The Mountains of Mourning," I'd read before, but enjoyed reading again. Always happy to spend some time with Miles Vorkosigan. I'd recommend this book to Bujold fans, especially of her sci fi or the Vorkosigan saga."; "The book starts off with a very good Sherlock Homes story, some very different short stories, a story about a pre-wormhole spaceship pilot for the Beta colony (14 years subjective from Earth, 100+ years actual) for a ramscoop spaceship, and third book that I have read containing the most excellent "Mountains of Mourning" novella. And several essays about writing science fiction."; "This is a collection of short stories and essays by the author. The short stories are wonderful, and the essays are an amazing source of inspiration if you wish to write. I definitely recommend it."
