Product Description: I first found _Conflict of Honors_ because of recommendations given to me by alexlit.com, and hearing about the books by Lee & Miller obliquely on rec.arts.sf.written; happening by the book in a second-hand shop thereafter, I picked it up and started reading. Well, within 24 hours I'd visited seven other used bookshops looking for the other two, had found and read _Carpe Diem_ in addition to _Conflict of Honors_, and had written cheques for _Plan B_ and _Agent of Change_.
_Conflict of Honors_ by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller wasn't my first occasion of reading about themes most often considered in the realm of fantasy being mixed with more hard-SF tropes, but it has become one of the most memorable and amusing for me. The cast of characters are varied, well-depicted, with strong dialogue and interwoven story lines that are woven well with each other throughout the book.
As I personally prefer reviews not entirely composed of platitudes and promises, I do note that in places the pacing does flag, and the story is resolved by two characters realizing a personal commitment to each other; but the characters carry the story over its rough spots, and the love-story aspects are not what guide the development of the characters or the main storyline.
My interest in reading science fiction derives less from liking the exploration of new technical ideas, than enjoying the development of characters in settings different than those possible either historically or contemporarily; and it is at this that Lee & Miller are very strong, being able to develop characters who carry their own weight, bear the burden of their own choices, and interact as fully at the social levels as personal and professional. Shan and Priscilla are intriguing people as presented in _Conflict of Honors_, ones whom it will be delightful to read more of as they reappear in the progress of the Liad world.
