At The Edge Of Honor

"Robert Macomber is a first-rate naval historian, and At the Edge of Honor proves it. The fascinating story of Florida’s Civil War sea battles was unknown to me until I read this book."

Randy Wayne White
Nationally Acclaimed Adventure/Mystery Author

"Macomber skillfully describes tactical strategizing while providing the history of Florida’s Civil War sea battles."

Publishers Weekly

"At last! Finally we have an American character the equivalent of Hornblower or Aubry, a sailor who can do the evolutions and the special missions, who makes things happen and is human besides. Even better, Peter Wake sails in the Civil War, working in a fascinating corner of that terrible conflict, with blockade runners, Spaniards, and Brits mixed up in a rollicking sea adventure. Not to be missed."

John Prados
Nationally Acclaimed Historian and Author

"Macomber has written nonfiction pieces on various aspects of the Civil War and Florida with considerable style as well as solid historical research. It is delightful to see that he can handle the same topics in fiction, which should bring a larger audience to the subjects. It’s a wonderful first novel from an author who may be one of the most promising of the next generation of Civil War fiction writers."

"Robert Macomber brings to life a little known and long forgotten aspect of the American Civil War as he takes readers back in time to actual events taking place along the coasts of southern Florida. He has filled in the realities missing from the official records and sterile histories."

Lew Schmidt
Florida Civil War Historian and Author

"At the Edge of Honor is a well written, page turning tale. It is an easy read and would appeal to anyone interested in the naval aspect of the Civil War, or of Florida during the period."
