Robert Macomber s new novel on the Spanish American War, Honoring the Enemy, is brilliant historical fiction and a must read for Navy fans and students of History and Cuba. It s an exceptionally well researched story of a major historical event and Macomber puts ONI s Captain Peter Wake in the middle of the exciting action ashore at San Juan Hill and at sea off Santiago de Cuba. Rear Admiral Tony Cothron, USN, Retired, 62nd Director of Naval Intelligence Sign on to sail to sea again with Peter Wake! This epic saga just gets better and better, and represents the best blend of accurate history, deep character analysis, and heart-stopping action being written by any sea writer today. Robert Macomber is at the helm, and what a voyage this continues to be... Admiral James Stavridis, USN (Ret), Supreme Allied Commander at NATO 2013-2018, Author of Sea Power: The History and Geopolitics of the World's Oceans Honoring The Enemy is one of the best Peter Wake novels to date. Mr. Macomber writes with pacing and attention to detail that rivals and often towers above the late Tom Clancy. Randy Wayne White, Creator of the Doc Ford novels Pure entertainment from cover to cover, Robert N. Macomber's Honoring the Enemy is the fourteenth book in the award-winning Honor Series of historical naval novels from the Naval Institute Press. The newest Captain Peter Wake novel, Honoring the Enemy will prove to be an immediate and enduringly popular addition to community library collections. Midwest Book Review This magnificent historical novel is just fine as a stand-alone. The military, operational intelligence, and technical acumen of the well-known author are exceedingly formidable. The accompanying sketch maps are illustrative and necessary, something too often missing in many books. The Spanish are portrayed as honorable adversaries fighting a losing battle. Small, surprising and arcane historical details abound. Macomber s work is filled with military pathos and sentiment all soldiers and sailors will instantly understand. A masterpiece, and one of the best I ve reviewed! Historical Novel Society The action [in Honoring the Enemy] is good!... Highly recommended. La Gaceta Macomber is today's foremost practitioner of a fascinating subgenre -- historical fiction of the nautical variety. Building his series on the imagined autobiography of Peter Wake, he's given readers a vivid, multi-dimensional hero. Macomber makes the remarkable times he portrays glow. This latest title is no exception. History comes alive. Philip K. Jason, Professor Emeritus, United States Naval Academy, and author of Acts and Shadows: The Vietnam War in American Literary Culture If you like nautical fiction, Honoring the Enemy will be a delightful treat. The Daily News Old and new fans of Mr. Macomber will appreciate the useful timeline of Capt. Wake s life that sets the protagonist in his historical context and in the parameters of his unique values, skills and personality. Florida Weekly
