I work about twenty hours a year (yes, year, not month or week) for a book publisher, but I don't think that counts.
I found Conflict of Honors at an Air Force bookstore in Okinawa, Japan the day before I was supposed to fly to the U.S. I meant to read it on the plane, but finished it that night. And then I re-read and re-read it all the way across the Pacific.
Hah! I bet between the two of us we bought both copies they had in stock! I got Agent of Change, Carpe Diem and Conflict of Honor at the Kadena Base exchange book store also!
Oh, wow! When? I bought mine before Carpe Diem was published, so August or September of 1987 or 1988? (I was leaving for college.) That store had the most pitiful collection of SF--or rather books in general--so it was a miracle finding anything readable, let alone that great.
