"Peter Wake sails under the Stars and Stripes into the maelstrom of the Civil War,
off the Florida Keys and Dry Tortugas, attempting to make some sense of the somber storm engulfing the North and South, while doing his duty. In Robert Macomber's Point of Honor, Peter Wake continues to emerge as an American hero worthy of his counterparts in naval fiction."
                                                             -- Tall Ships Books

"Macomber's career as a writer parallels that of Peter Wake as a sailor. They both came from a knowledgeable background--nonfiction in Bob's case and commercial sailing in Peter's--and switched to different fields, fiction and the military....and it's a knockout combination."

"As the story, begun in At the Edge of Honor,widens in this novel, it becomes richer. The characters are more complex and the action moves well. If you're a fan of 19th century naval history and/or the Civil War, this is a book for you. If not, this book could make you one."

"It is said that a novel is a piece of mind candy.  In that case this story, set during the Civil War in the waters of west Florida featuring brash young Lt. Peter Wake of the Union forces, is a whole box of chocolate creams from Russell Stover."
