Wonderful Read
Bob Macomber has created a main character in Peter Wake. Bob has written 7 books following this Navy man. Very easy read and you don’t want to put it down. Was so pleased to find this set of 6, having found the first volume in a local thrift store. It put me on to this series. All were in their jackets, which were in perfect condition. If you like historical fiction, the Navy, sailing and lots of swashbuckling, this is a great set of 7 books.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
