Coming from St. Martins in July,Robert's newest book is:
In Honored Glory
On a peaceful night in Havana Harbor, the USS Maine rests at anchor. Then America's most powerful battleship suddenly explodes...and the Spanish American War has begun.
"Remember the Maine!" was the battle cry that galvanized America and sent thousands of brawling, eager soldier on the adventure of a lifetime, war with Spain in Cuba. But for the soldiers who would face a barrage of Spanish gunfire, from Texas cowboys to college boys and the heroic Buffalo Soldiers of the US Tenth Cavalry, it would be a war like none other before. And for General Joseph Murchison, who had learned to fight on the Western frontier, the crusade would plunge his own son into a fierce battle for his life, as Lieutenant Todd Murchison joins Roosevelt's Rough Riders on a desperate charge up San Juan Hill.
A novel of men and women thrust into the heart of this "splendid little war," In Honored Gloryis the saga of a nation doing battle for the first time since its own Civil War, on a hot, exotic island where glory would only be earned in blood.
