Assassin's Honor (Honor Series) Paperback – September 1, 2015

The stories in these "honor series" books are extraordinary. I've read them all and look forward to new ones. The stories are so well woven, with multiple characters and real history knitted into the yarn. I feel a part of the story, and have learned quite a bit about history and politics, from the inside, with insight and understanding. I love learning history this way. I also feel as though I have traveled to these places that the books take place in, through the details and experiences of the very colorful characters in these books. I loved this story and am very attached to what will happen next in the sage of Commander Peter Wake! Keep em coming! This one involves Cuba and Key West, and Tampa. I didn't see Florida as having this interesting a history. Now I have more feeling for the people who had the vision to create the culture around me. There's enough action for the men, and enough romance for the women, and a big tease.

I first started reading this series after hearing the author speak at the United States Power Squadrons' Annual Meeting. Having read every book up to this point, I had taken some time off waiting for the next book to come out. I got busy with other reading and did not return to following Peter's adventures until now and find that I missed some very enjoyable hours but will now avidly read the next in the series and hope that more will yet come to help while my retirement years for a long time. If you have any interest in great sea and adventure stories, by all means, start reading this series.

Twelfth in the series, First six were better!

lots of good history interwoven in the novel

I have to be careful when I choose to start a new book in the Honor series, because once I start reading it's hard to put it down. In The Assassin's Honor, Peter Wake is, as always, an intriguing figure. I heartily recommend all of the books in the series, and for a special treat start at the beginning and read them in order. The books are all so interesting in part because they are very well-researched, and so much of what is going on in the background is historically accurate.

Peter Wake is at his best and that is very good indeed. I have read the entire series and urge one and all to do the same. Macomber is the very best historical novelist I have ever come across by far. Meticulous in his research, the author not only brings alive the characters but also the times which they inhabit. The plot is crisp and swift. Even Wake gets briefly baffled by the machinations of the German Navy and Cuban spies...but not for long.Read this book and you will want to read them all.

Great book in the series

This is a continuation of the Honor series and brings a couple new characters into the series. Plenty of suspense and drama both on the “high seas” as well on the coast of Florida. I love the way the author describes the local places that the characters visit during their adventures.
