== The "Vorkosigan" series ==
   ''See a list of more than forty novels and novellas [[Lois McMaster Bujold/Works|on the Works tab]] of this article.''
The first novel of the science fiction Vorkosigan series appeared in 1986, and Bujold published an additional story in the universe as late as 2018.  It consists of nearly two dozen novels or stories, and a variety of omnibus books which combine multiple stories into one volume. 
 
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.
