An Affair of Honor

An excellent book! It is an easy read, interesting, often hard to put down. The reader will learn from an exciting and adventurous story about history and the various locations the main character, Peter Wake, travels to. I personally know that the author has actually travelled to these locations and learned about the people and their customs. The book should be on everyone's must read list.

Macomber: historically accurate with meticulous detail

My wife Jane and I had the extremely good fortune to travel with, discuss and witness Robert Macomber in action with his meticulous attention to detail on his epic fact finding tour for this book. For almost three weeks we sailed through the Caribbean, across the Atlantic and into the Mediterranean with a final destination of Genoa, Italy. Historically accurate isn't enough for this guy...he had to breathe the air, feel the vibes and actually walk in the shoes of his characters. Eloquently polished and honed Macomber enthralls the reader with his personable real life characters and makes this book a five star attraction.
