She does. I just started my second Vorkosigan book. Enjoyable.
I also recently finished Weber's first Honor Harrington book, and while I liked it OK, I felt a lot of it was bogged down in politics and policy talk. At times I felt like I was trying to slog through all the "begats" in the Bible, trying to get to the interesting parts. I do have the second HH on deck, though.

I also just finished Scalzi's "Old Man's War." It was good, too. Very much in the vein of 'Starship Troopers.'
