This $5,000 W.Y. Boyd Literary Award honors the best fiction set in a period when the United States military was engaged in an armed conflict or during peacetime.
“Robert Macomber has written an excellent work about the assignment of Lt. Cmdr. Peter Wake during a conflict that is little known to history, the War of the Pacific,” according to award jury Chair Robert E. Schnare of the Naval War College.
A Different Kind of Honor is the sixth book in Macomber’s Honor Series, published by Pineapple Press. The first book in the series, At the Edge of Honor, won Best Historical Fiction from the Florida Historical Society, and the second in the series, Point of Honor, won the Cook Literary Award for Best Work in Southern Fiction.
