Shards of Honor is the novel in which Lois McMaster Bujold introduced the SF world to Barrayar and Aral Vorkosigan, Beta Colony and Cordelia Naismith. From this beginning the author has created a multi-generational saga spanning time as well as space. Bujold is generally recognized as the current exemplar of the character-based SF adventure story. This edition is the first generally available printing of this book in hard cover.

The book also includes a revised timeline of the Vorkosigan stories, and revised genealogical notes by the book's editor, Suford Lewis. (Earlier versions of these items appeared in NESFA Press's other Bujold book, Dreamweaver's Dilemma.)

An audio tape version of Shards of Honor is available from The Reader's Chair.
