BEHIND THE SCENES OF THE ASSASSIN’S HONOR AND WHAT’S NEXT?: Catch the insider’s tales of Macomber’s hilarious, and sometimes dangerous, research escapades for his newest historical thriller, The Assassin’s Honor. Highlights include experiences from the exotic Mayan coast of Mexico, the shadowy world of Havana, the back alleys of Key West, and Tampa’s quaint Spanish quarter of Ybor City. The diverse, behind the scenes research team included NSA archivists and linguists, communist scholars, and steam engine experts for this twelfth novel in the Honor series. Suspense builds when you realize The Assassin’s Honor is woven around the actual murderous events which transpired 123 years ago, and changed world history. As a bonus, you’ll get a sneak peek into the next three novels, since The Assassin’s Honor sets the stage for them.
