Shell Point Academy of Lifelong Learning presents author & lecturer Robert N. Macomber for a series of events.

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.

YACHTS THAT WENT TO WAR: learn about yachts from the Gilded Age, which were turned into warships during the Spanish-American War.  In 1898, the United States Navy needed more ships, and they needed them quickly to fight the Spanish in Cuba.  Turning to America’s yachtsmen, thirty-eight elegant yachts became warships.  Many went into combat and several became famous, with careers lasting decades.  This is their amazing story.
