Miles Naismith Vorkosigan is the hero of a series of science fiction novels and short stories by Lois McMaster Bujold known as the Vorkosigan Saga. In an article in ''The Vorkosigan Companion'',〔Lois McMaster Bujold, p. 7-40, in Lillian Stewart Carl and John Helfers, ''The Vorkosigan Companion'', Baen Books 2008, ISBN 978-1-4391-3379-8〕 Bujold acknowledged several real-life inspirations for the character: T. E. Lawrence, a young Winston Churchill, "a physical template in a handicapped hospital pharmacist I'd worked with", and even herself (the "great man's son syndrome"). She also noted that she and her creation adopted dual personas, she as a housewife and writer, he as an aristocratic Vor scion and mercenary Admiral Naismith. However, she also asserted that Miles developed a personality all his own from the first book, ''The Warrior's Apprentice''. ==Fictional appearances== Miles Vorkosigan first appeared in Bujold's novel ''The Warrior's Apprentice'' (1986), although his parents had appeared in an earlier work, ''Shards of Honor'' (also 1986), set before Miles's birth. According to ''The Vorkosigan Companion'',〔Lillian Stewart Carl and John Helfers, "Appendix 2: Timeline", pp. 638-641, ''The Vorkosigan Companion'', Baen Books 2008, ISBN 978-1-4391-3379-8〕 the internal sequence of the books featuring Miles (although not the order in which they were written) is: *''Barrayar'' (1991) *''The Warrior's Apprentice'' (1986) *''Borders of Infinity'' (1989; see note) *''The Vor Game'' (1990) *''Cetaganda'' (1995) *''Miles, Mystery & Mayhem'' (2003; see note) *''Brothers in Arms'' (1989) *''Mirror Dance'' (1994) *''Memory'' (1996) *''Komarr'' (1998) *''A Civil Campaign'' (1999) * "Winterfair Gifts" (novella, 2004) *''Diplomatic Immunity'' (2002) *''Cryoburn'' (2010) *Note: ''Borders of Infinity'' is a collection of novellas, which take place at various times between ''The Warrior's Apprentice'' and ''Mirror Dance.'' *Note: ''Miles, Mystery & Mayhem'' is a collection.
