Professional Praise
"One of the great feelings that come over me when I settle into a new Honor Series novel by Robert Macomber is the sense that I’m in such capable and caring hands. It’s like having an insurance policy against disappointments. And there are none in the 12th installment of this unique and durable series … Once again, Mr. Macomber has composed a living, breathing and authoritative maritime story of later 19th century America and its place in a troubled world. Reader, you are in good hands with this writer."

"The fun and adventure sets sail on Commander Peter Wake’s twelfth sea adventure, this time cruising his venerable US Navy hero into Caribbean intrigue between the United States, Spain, and Imperial Germany … The novel moves along at flank speed, … Macomber’s précis on Victorian-era Tampa as he delves into Cuban influence in early Florida will intrigue. And Macomber is always good for esoterica, handily filling in background details …"

"… Macomber’s portrayals of ships and seamanship, the locales, and many interesting multi-national characters are first-rate and accurate. …. The would-be assassin’s reveal comes out of nowhere, and the American passenger’s death remains shadowy. But, as Macomber explains in helpful endnotes, the actual identity of the would-be assassin and related circumstances are murky to this day …."
Historical Novel Society
"Robert Macomber’s 12th book in the ‘Honor’ series will gratify loyal fans and delight new readers… his fans, called ‘Wakians’ drool for the newest morsel… it is truly a Florida book to which residents can relate… Another plus to Macomber’s books is his use of hand-drawn maps and endnotes. The maps are drawn by the author with the intent to make them seem like Wake drew them. The endnotes are explanations of subject matter that might be of interest to the reader, but does not need inclusion in the written text …."
