icepixieIiiiii have a copy of Cryoburn in my hot little hands! Of course, I haven't read a Vorkosigan novel since Diplomatic Immunity came out in 2002, so we'll see how much I've forgotten in the intervening years...
I also have a copy of Blackout, which has apparently been out for a while, but I didn't realize it. Making up for lost time! And then probably buying All Clear next.
(If only I had my Cordelia icon up on DW as well as LJ!)

Date: 2010-10-21 06:29 am (UTC)(To be honest, I'm not sure whether to be excited about this book or not; I loved Doomsday Book, Passage, Fire Watch, and a whole bunch of her short stories. I liked To Say Nothing of the Dog okay, but didn't think it was as good as the others. I'm hoping this one will be more like the others, less like TSNotD. And I haven't read any of her time travel books in years and years, so I hope there's not continuity I have to remember, because I so don't.)

Date: 2010-10-21 06:33 am (UTC)Colin from DB shows up in this one, although not in any major way, and of course Mr. Dunworthy is there being In Charge of Everything. That's all the continuity I can think of. *g*
I also talked with CW when she came by my bookstore to sign copies and she said she thinks of Blackout and All Clear as being more on the serious, Doomsday Book side of portraying time travel and history. Apparently her next planned time travel novel is a comic one like TSNotD, dealing with the Roswell UFO incident in 1947. So maybe read these two, and skip the next one?

Is All Clear out yet? I saw that Blackout was the first of a pair, and I figured I'd be super-frustrated if I wasn't able to pick up the sequel/second half right after I finished the first part, so I haven't bought anything yet.
