Peter Wake spends more time ashore than on ship in this installment But what shores: From the shadow of Mt Pelee in Martinique to the ruins and palaces of Morocco. All are well portrayed, historically, in their 19th-century glory and deshabille. These are stringent and perilous times for the American Navy but there are still reasons for them to show the flag and make their presence known. Peter does that by rescuing missionaries from slavery as well as meeting Jackie Fisher in his early days as an HMS commander and innovator. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

At the beginning of this fifth novel in Robert N. Macombers award-winning Honor Series, its December 1873 and Lieutenant Peter Wake is the executive officer of the USS Omaha on dreary patrol in the West Indies. Lonely for his family, he is looking forward to returning home to Pensacola in a few months and rekindling his troubled marriage with Linda. But fate has other plans for Wake. He runs afoul of the Royal Navy in Antigua and a beautiful French woman enters his life in Martinique. Then he's suddenly sent off on staff assignment to Europe, where he is soon immersed in the cynical swirl of Old World politics. Wake finds himself running for his life after getting embroiled in a Spanish civil war. Then he gets caught up in diplomatic intrigue among the French, Germans, and British. But his real test comes when he and his old friend Sean Rork are sent on a no-win mission in northern Africa. < < Previous in series Next in series > > See all of the books in this series No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
