Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Four stars, down from five in the early series. Peter Wake started out as an ernest young naval officer trying to blockade rebels on the western Florida coast during the civil war. Now six books later after fighting African slavers, advising the French building the Panama Canal and chasing evil doers through the Caribbean, he has morphed into an intelligence officer with high connections to the US President, the Pope and such. We learn some history of southeast Asia in the 1880's but Peter seems mostly along for the ride, somewhat incidental to the story. I wish the talented Mr. Macomber would return to his Florida roots and explore the history of post Civil War Florida with different characters if need be (though I guess Sean, his son, who we know to be destined for the admiralty will soon appear). The appearance of the Yard Dogs in the last chapter is an "in" joke but must seem strange to those not in the know.
