The Flowers of Vashnoi: An Ekaterin Vorkosigan Novella by Lois McMaster Bujold --- 93 pages
Still new to her duties as Lady Vorkosigan, Ekaterin is working together with expatriate scientist Enrique Borgos on a radical scheme to recover the lands of the Vashnoi exclusion zone, lingering radioactive legacy of the Cetagandan invasion of the planet Barrayar. When Enrique’s experimental bioengineered radbugs go missing, the pair discover that the zone still conceals deadly old secrets.
This novella falls after Captain Vorpatril’s Alliance in the Vorkosigan series timeline, but may be read entirely independently. The Vorkosigan Saga was the recipient of the first Hugo Award for best science fiction series in 2017. If you have not yet made the acquaintance of Miles Vorkosigan of Barrayar, I urge you not to waste any more time.
