== References ==
The first novel of the science fiction Vorkosigan series appeared in 1986, and Bujold seems to have wrapped it up in 2016.  It consists of nearly two dozen novels or stories, and a variety of omnibus editions.  Most stories occur across two generations of the Vorkosigan family, with closely interlocking histories.
 
The stories were not all written in chronological order for the universe.  Between the jumbling of actual publication dates vs. story order, and the existence of several omnibus editions, it can be difficult to catalog all the works in the Vorkosigan saga.
