FULL NAVAL HONORS just won the 2024 Silver Medal in Historical Fiction from the FL Authors & Publishers Assoc. [myFAPA.org] along with winning the 2024 Patrick D. Smith Literary Award from the FL Historical Society for Best Historical Novel of Florida !!

New Review: “Robert Macomber brings American naval hero Peter Wake’s epic memoir to an inspiring conclusion in Full Naval Honors, as storm clouds threaten peace in the twentieth century’s early years. …This memoir sometimes seems all too real, not a work of fiction. Macomber’s historical and fictional characters come alive on the pages. Their actions and details about their lives elicit raw emotions from the reader. The Wake story is about life and death, good and bad, embodying the spirit of those who have served America in uniform. …The Wake saga, an uplifting American story, reflects Robert Macomber’s sense of service to country, always with his motto, ‘Upward and Onward’!” —George D. Jepson, Editor & Publisher, Quarterdeck Magazine

FULL NAVAL HONORS
[the 17th in the Honor Series]
WINNER OF THE PATRICK D. SMITH LITERARY AWARD

The memoirs of RADM Peter Wake, USN, steam into the twentieth century in Full Naval Honors. This final volume finds the admiral dealing with European and Japanese spies and assassins in the Pacific while on a “diplomatic” recon mission ahead of the Great White Fleet’s epic 1907-09 voyage around the world. The action continues at the beginning of World War I, as Wake clashes with a German espionage network in the Central American jungle. The reader will be at Wake’s side when he visits his friend Theodore Roosevelt’s New York home in 1918, as that family learns of their tragic war loss. Following that war, readers will learn the poignant story of Peter Wake’s final years in Key West with his beloved Maria. But Peter Wake’s story doesn’t end there, for the call of duty lives on in his descendants as they are plunged into the midst of World War I, World War II, Vietnam, and the First Gulf War. Shadowy espionage, world-changing events, crucial split-second decision-making, gut-wrenching combat, tragic losses and great loves—and above all, a never-ending sense of honor and duty—they all form part of the Wake family’s character as America depends on each generation of them. Full naval honors, indeed.
