Lee, Sharon, and Steve Miller. Conflict of Honors. 1988. E-book ed., Baen, 2015. Liaden Universe 9.
Conflict of Honors is one of the first three books written in the ongoing series of Liaden space operas. It is the first novel in the central narrative of clan Korval, but it is the 10th novel in the Korval chronology. I use the volume numbers provided by Goodreads out of convenience. Wikipedia provides helpful charts (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liaden_universe). Conflict of Honors tells the story of the one-time agent of change, Shan, now captain of the trading ship Beautiful Passage. He rescues exiled 16-year-old Priscilla, a Terran girl framed for fraud by the crew of another ship. Avuncular mentoring blossoms into romance. It is always good to join the Dionysian Terran culture with the Apollonian Liadens. Lee and Miller are pros: four stars. ( )

Re read and just as wonderful. I totally love Shan. There's something new every time I read one of Lee and Millers books again.

Shan and Priscilla are great. The language used in these novels is wonderful. You enjoy every word. The only thing that I didn't totally love is the mystical woman shamanistic thing. I just can't get behind that in any book. But space ships and Korval count me in. ( )

I think the description of the book is a bit misleading...

On the cover is two persons...and people who reviewed it compare the book to a regency romance in outer space. So when they spring the lesbian relationship between the girl on the cover and another girl(not on cover) You cant help but be a little surprised.

Im not making a statement about on same sex relationships mind you, only its like putting something you think is a piece of chocolate in your mouth and tasting licorice.

Its not a bad taste per se...but you sure wish youd known it was filled with licorice. *end of metaphor* ( )

This book (2nd of the Liaden series in publication order) introduces Val Con's cousin (and fosterbrother) Shan yos'Galen and Priscilla Delacroix y Mendoza... ( )
