The Mountains of Mourning: This story won both the Hugo and Nebula awards for best novella. I read the old ’89 version of Borders of Infinity. Baen published most of the Vorkosigan series in omnibus editions, with these novellas scattered in various editions, so that might be the better way to read these. They’re some of the best of the entire Vorkosigan saga, especially the award-winning “The Mountains of Mourning.” The other two stories are also important, as they introduce some new characters and set up the following couple of novels in the sequence. A short story collection may not seem entirely essential for the casual fan, but I’d recommend reading all three stories. Borders of Infinity collects three Miles short stories (or novellas, rather), all originally published separately in magazines, with a little framing device tying them together.
