Ship of Love
By David Roy
Conflict of Honors, by Sharon Lee and Steve Miller, is another space opera novel set in the Liaden universe. The first book I read, Scout's Progress, was a romance set in a futuristic setting. This book, on the other hand, is a bit more than that, and that's all for the better. It has interesting heroes, vile villains, and a bit of action. I didn't have the same problem getting into it as I did with the first book, but that could be because I was already used to the language used. Still, there wasn't as much of it, and the storyline is a more straightforward. Definitely a keeper.
Back cover blurbs have been known to be wrong about the contents of a book before, but I rarely see one that's misleading like this one is, while still being essentially accurate. If you look at the back cover in the bookstore, you get the impression that once Shan and Priscilla meet up, it's a quest for revenge, with nothing standing in their way. Instead, it's a bit quieter, more subtle. It's too bad, too, because the book is really good for what it is, and doesn't need a punched up cover blurb to sell it. In fact, it may detract from it, as readers finds out they're not getting what they thought.
That doesn't mean that the plot's not interesting, though. It is. The machinations of the bad guys are intriguing, though the First Mate of the Daxflan is a bit too one-dimensionally evil. Still, the master trader of the ship is very good, walking the fine line between evil and insanity. Watching them when their plans come to fruition, and seeing how our heroes ultimately resolve the situation is entertaining, and will keep you turning the pages.
One problem, though, is that the situations are almost too easy. I didn't really get the sense of jeopardy from them, and they seemed too easily dealt with. I enjoyed them because I liked the characters and I wanted to see how they solved the problems, but I didn't get any sense that they were in danger. Even the short action sequences are rather tame, though they provide the most danger of any of them. The flaws in the heroes are personal flaws, and in taking care of these situations, they almost seem too perfect. It brought down the interest level a touch and was ultimately disappointing. The climax of the book, though, is fitting. It's understated, a result of negotiation and talking rather than violence. It's nice that a book like this can end without any real bloodshed, with no shootouts or anything like that. Instead, it fits in with the rest of the book.
The characters in this book (with the exception noted above) are wonderful. Their emotions are real, raw, and heartfelt. Priscilla is reserved, hesitating to let her emotions out because she's scared of having them spurned as they have been since she was exiled. The love she finds on Shan's ship is eye-opening to her, and she learns a great deal about emotional health from the friends she makes. Lina, her first friend on the ship, is very understanding and patient with her. The relationship that develops between them is very touching, especially as it grows deeper with time. Lina is also Shan's lifelong friend, and she feels his pain as he finds himself drawn to Priscilla but can't act on it, due to both how bad it would look as well as the shell that Priscilla is still in.
Shan is probably my favourite character, though. He is so three dimensional, constantly demonstrating different facets to his personality. He has loyalty to his clan, a burning affection for his friends and a heartfelt duty to his crew. He's suave, sophisticated, devious and funny. He's always on the ball and able to think on his feet, which is a good quality as one event after another happens to put Priscilla in jeopardy. Lee and Miller make the reader care about him, and watching him pine for Priscilla is almost heart-wrenching.
Love in Conflict of Honors is very free, and that may put off some readers. A love triangle of sorts does form between these three characters, but there is no jealousy, only caring amongst them. If you have trouble with the idea of same-sex relationships, then steer clear of this book. There isn't anything graphic about it, so if you don't mind the idea but you don't want to see it in action, then you're safe. It's worth reading, though, as you come to care about them and want them to succeed.
This is a book about relationships, and thus it moves kind of slow. It's interesting, though, which means that you won't mind spending the time with Shan, Priscilla and Lina. You get to know them, their deep desires and their outlook on the world. The loving byplay between them is great. Don't expect lots of action, like in some space opera books, because Lee and Miller don't write that (at least judging by the two books I've read). Instead, they write character exploration, what it means to love and what loyalty is.
I said earlier that this isn't a romance, but a bit more. It has some of the trappings of a romance, but the results are much better than that. If you dislike romances, you shouldn't let that keep you away from this book. It's definitely worth reading.

A Matter of Balance
By Arthur W Jordin
Conflict of Honors (1988) is the second SF novel in the Liaden Universe series, following Agent of Change. In the previous volume, Val Con and Miri were caught by the Juntavas, but were released onto a derelict ship. Although damaged by the Yxtrang, the ship was somewhat repairable. Then the Yxtrang came back.
In this novel, Priscilla Delacroix y Mendoza is a Terran, a native of the planet Sintia. She became a spacer at age sixteen. She is now Cargo Master of the Liaden ship Daxflan.
Shan yos'Galan is a Liaden. He is Theodelm of Line Galan and nadelm of Clan Korval, a Master Trader, and Captain of the Liaden ship Dutiful Passage.
Lina Faaldom is a Liaden and Theodelm of Clan Desnol. She is the Librarian on Dutiful Passage.
Sav Rid Olanek is a Liaden of Clan Plemia. He is Trader on the Daxflan, which is owned by his clan.
Dagmar Collier is a Terran. She is second mate on the Daxflan.
In this story, the Terrans on the Daxflan are very disgruntled by their conditions. They are treated as nonpersons and eat disgusting food in an impromptu messhall away from the Liaden crew. Priscilla's friend Shelly has just bought out her contract to get off the Daxflan.
After Shelly leaves, Priscilla saves her file containing suspicions of contraband in the sealed cargo. Then she is unexpectedly assigned to go down to Jankalin. Since the planet is only a dropoff point, she is puzzled about being included within the landing party.
On the world, Dagmar takes her aside to help carry something. Once they get through the recalcitrant door, Priscilla is knocked out and left in the locked room. When she awakes, Priscilla discovers that she has been stranded.
Priscilla gains employment on the Dutiful Passage to overtake her ship. The captain requires her to take a battery of strange tests before hiring her under personal contract. Then he assigns her to Lina as Pet Librarian, with additional duties as needed.
Priscilla does many and varied tasks on the Dutiful Passage. The pet library is the most pleasant, but she also really enjoys the piloting lessons. These are required in her contract, but are without charge to her.
When the Dutiful Passage next encounters the Daxflan, someone tries to murder Shan. Priscilla saves the Captain, but he does not allow her to reveal their suspicions of Dagmar's involvement. Shan does tell her of Dutiful Passage's outstanding complaint against Daxflan. Shan even mentions the conflict between his sister and Sav Rid.
This tale involves Priscilla in a balancing of debts against Sav Rid and the Daxflan. She learns much about Liaden customs and culture during her time on the Dutiful Passage. And the crew of the Dutiful Passage also discover and admire her own talents.
Although this tale has few similarities with the previous novel, it is still about Clan Korval. Shan and Val Con are cousins and are like brothers to each other. This story seems to take place prior to the previous novel, but the Liaden Universe timeline is very confusing.
The story is filled with action and conflict, but also with satisfying interpersonal relationships. The next installment is Carpe Diem. Read and enjoy!
Highly recommended for Lee & Miller fans and for anyone else who enjoys tales of alien cultures, social conflicts, and paranormal talents.
