Book Review: Five Stars

Word of Honor: A Peter Wake Novel by Robert N. Macomber

The author delivers again in this breathtaking ongoing progression of America's naval influence as it expands into a world superpower. I especially loved the book’s fast moving pace of action taking the reader on a wild roller coaster ride of history. Peter Wake’s struggle, from heart warming love to poisonous personalities, kept me glued to this enthralling and mysterious narrative.

EXCERPT:

United States had invaded at the wrong place in Cuba at the wrong time of the year: the jungles of eastern Cuba during the summer fever season. Malaria, dengue fever, yellow fever, typhoid, and dysentery had greatly weakened the regiments.

Word of Honor is part of the award-winning Honor Series of historical naval novels featuring Peter Wake.

BOOK REVIEW - FIVE STARS
Honoring the Enemy by Robert N. Macomber

The Honor series books of Peter Wake’s adventures range from command of a Civil War era sailing schooner in Florida’s primitive Gulf Coast to a turn of the century steam powered confrontation with armor plated steel vessels sporting the latest long range mega canons. 

In Honoring the Enemy the action continues to gain momentum.

I have read them all and eagerly await Macomber’s next thriller.

I am a very satisfied reader with sea adventure in my Viking heritage. John M. Grimsrud

Excerpts:

Listen to me for a moment. Do not equate me with the glory-mongers in Washington or Madrid. You damn well know I’ve devoted years of my life to preventing this war. But politicians in charge on both sides wanted it, and everyone has known for a long time it was going to happen eventually...

I’ve wanted to tell this story for many years. It took a lot of research, which led me to Washington, Tampa, Havana, and eastern Cuba. After five years of research and writing, and a lot of help along the way, it is finally finished.
