http://FloridaWeekly.com/news by Phil Jason, Ph.D.,
United States Naval Academy professor emeritus of English
Here's an excerpt from the 1st review of
by George D. Jepson, Editor
Quarterdeck Journal
"... Macomber's delicious storytelling - a combination of riddles, action on the sea and ashore, well drawn characters, and exotic locations - is a praiseworthy entry in the naval fiction genre. His rip roaring narrative is engaging, while chronicling a consequential period in American history."
Another review, this from best-selling author, James O. Born:
"An Honorable War takes the reader on a journey of passion and drama that history often overlooks. With the Spanish-American war as a backdrop, Robert Macomber weaves a great story of not only honor,
but action and love."

TRAVELING IN PETER'S WAKE
HAITI
|
If you want a taste of the exotic, without traveling far from the U.S., Haiti is a beautiful country. In my 9th novel
Honor Bound, Peter Wake is there in 1888 in Cap Haitian, on the northern coast. You can actually stay in the mansion where Wake had his encounter with the governor. It is the 200-year old colonial governor's home, now the Hotel Roi Christophe. When you feel adventurous, follow in Peter's wake to the fabled land of Haiti [
www.HotelRoiChristophe.com].
Plan a visit to the ruins of Sans Souci Palace, home of that country's first ruler, King Henri Christophe [
https://Wikipedia.org/Sans-SouciPalace].
For an added extra, travel to one of the largest fortresses in the Western Hemisphere, the magnificent
Citadelle. You'll wonder how they ever built it. The views from the top are stunning. Check it out:
https://Wikipedia.org/Citadelle.
