BROWSE BY SUBJECT

POINT OF HONOR

In this second of Robert Macomber’s historical novels of the naval Civil War in Florida, the year is 1864 and Peter Wake, U.S.N., assisted by his indomitable Irish bosun, Sean Rork, is at the helm of the schooner St. James , a larger ship than his first command in At the Edge of Honor.

Wake’s remarkable ability to make things happen continues as he searches for army deserters in the Dry Tortugas, discovers an old nemesis during a standoff with the French Navy on the coast of Mexico, starts a drunken tavern riot in Key West, and confronts incompetent Federal army officers during an invasion of upper Florida.

Along the way, Wake’s personal life takes a new tack when he risks reputation for love by returning to the arms of his forbidden sweetheart, the daughter of a Confederate zealot. Key West provides a unique setting for them to prove that their love is strong enough to overcome the insanity of the war.

And through it all, even when surrounded by the swirling confusion of danger and political intrigue, Peter Wake maintains his dedication to balance on the point of honor.

“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.” —Laurie A. Chambliss, Associate Editor, Civil War Interactive

“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, author of the 4-volume The Civil War in Florida: A Military History
