It’s September 1888, and Commander Peter Wake, Office of Naval Intelligence, has been ordered to salvage a failed espionage operation against the Spanish Navy in Havana. His network of spies in the city has been compromised, international political tensions are escalating, the U.S. presidential election is looming, and Wake has five days to locate and rescue two of his network who are missing and assumed captured by the Spanish. Wake immediately realizes that his old nemesis, Colonel Isidro Marrón, head of the dreaded Spanish counterintelligence service, has set the perfect trap to kill him. Wake’s covert American team of experts in linguistics, chemistry, and lock picking are soon hard pressed to simply stay alive as they struggle to carry out his hastily conceived plan. Amidst all of this chaos, Wake saves the lives of Havana’s Spanish elite, forms a nervous friendship with the colonial governor, receives an odd message from his Cuban revolutionary friend José Martí, encounters the shadowy world of international Freemasonry, and discovers an unusual bond with the legendary actress Sarah Bernhardt. Can Peter Wake trust anyone―-or anything―-in Cuba?

It's always a gamble when jumping into the middle of a well-developed series (this is the 10th book) but in the first few pages it was clear to me that what the reader would need to know about the `back story' would be provided if necessary. My intuition proved correct as I was drawn into the fascinating world of Peter Wake, US Navy. Drawn to this book by the promise of spy fiction, naval matters and Freemasons, there was lots of potential for disappointment as a great amount of my reading focuses on these areas. The author was excellent in his character development but, more importantly, provided a plot that was unanticipated from page to page and yet entirely plausible. Upon reaching the `back matter', I learned of Macomber's writing methodology but don't you skip to it first: it's much more impressive after finishing the book. The `Forrest Gump' aspect was well-done and the story of Freemasonry in Latin America is something that few books today (even the non-fiction ones) understand. The downside? I've now got nine more books to buy and read: this is a series that MUST be read entirely and this book is a great place to begin!

Great Nautical Tale of Adventure, Overcoming Adversity, and Ingeniuti By Captain Elizabeth I've just finished this 10th book in the Honor series,and I think it's the best written. I loved it and couldn't put it down. I felt like I was experiencing the thoughts, emotions, and bullets along with the heroes in this tale. To experience our Navy, international politics, groomed relationships, and the ingeniuty of a McGuiver-like hero kept my mind enthralled as the events played out. This one was more on land than the others, in Cuba. To see inside a historical period like this, with well researched real people and events, made history come alive for me. I can see it takes a real gift, and brilliance, to foresee the effects of a small action on the politics of a nation. I appreciated the insight into things I will likely never experience. And, I have a renewed respect for the men and women of our armed forces and the role they find themselves playing at times, profoundly different in some cases from what they expected, yet, nevertheless important to shaping our nation. I also really apppreciate that the theme of these novels always is ... act with Honor and there will be invaluable rewards.

Honorable Lies By John Grimsrud Honorable Lies by Robert Macomber; unrelentingly fast moving, historically accurate with enthralling historical research, as good as it gets. He has expertly profiled Cuban attributes from the highest society to the lowest strata in their ongoing struggle. With judiciously keen personal observations he presents a gripping, intriguing, informative and memorable story that made me want more. Robert's writing skills have become comparable with the industries best.
