Ethan of Athos rules.
To commemorate a past event, you kill and eat an animal. It's a ritual sacrifice, with pie.

Literary Buffistas 3: Don't Parse the Blurb, Dear.
There's more to life than watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer! No. Really, there is! Honestly! Here's a place for Buffistas to come and discuss what it is they're reading, their favorite authors and poets. "Geez. Crack a book sometime."

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear

You know, it's been years since I read it. I don't even own a copy.

Chronologically, Ethan of Athos comes somewhere between The Vor Game and Brothers in Arms. It has a major character in common with the other books.

And haven't the first few been repackaged a few times as Young Miles or somesuch?

I swear they've all been repackaged as something. I keep seeing a title and hoping it's a new book, but not so much.

Ethan of Athos rules.
The more I think about it, the more I like it. I should reread. And rebuy, I don't think I own it anymore.

I've been thinking about rereading the whole series, but I was hoping to do that when there was a NEW BOOK.

Okay, according to Amazon, Young Miles has Warrior's Apprentice, The Vor Game and "Mountains of Mourning."
Miles, Mystery and Mayhem has Cetaganda, Ethan of Athos, and "Labyrinth."
Miles Errant = Borders of Infinity (the novella, not the collection), Brothers in Arms, and Mirror Dance
Miles, Mutants and Microbes has Falling Free and Diplomatic Immunity. And "Labyrinth" again.
The rest all seem to be available in their original titles.

That's just weird. Falling Free, while set in the same universe, is much earlier. Also, the Quaddies aren't mutants; they're genetically engineered.

Yeah, that one had me scratching my head. I guess it lumps all the Quaddie stories together, in case anyone wanted that.
