Sadly I'm nearing the end of this epic naval fiction series. It begins with Lieutenant Peter Wake leaving the merchant marine and serving as a Union U.S. Navy officer in Key West. Wake's adventures will literally take him around the word, into the strangest places, even the Sahara! All of Macomber's tales have their basis in history. As Wake, after his initial tours of duty at sea, who then was assigned to the Office of Naval Intelligence, often interacts with historical figures important to U.S history, as well as other countries.
In this novel, he is finally a U.S. Navy captain, doing intelligence work in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. A number of the novels take place in Cuba where his deadliest enemies often lurk.
