Reviews
"Harbor of Spies is that rare novel with the perfect mix of the magics. There is intrigue and romance combined with history and mystery set in a real time and place--colonial Cuba during the U.S. Civil War. The end result is a page-turning excursion through dangers and delights that will both entertain and enlighten. Enjoy!"-Jim Lehrer, journalist and novelist
"Robin Lloyd has written a captivating thriller-at-sea in Harbor of Spies. This book is at once a spy story, a sea story and a love story. The setting is exotic and highly original--Havana in the 1860s. The scenes of battle at sea are beautifully rendered. This second seafaring novel by Robin Lloyd cruises at hull speed."--David Ignatius, columnist, The Washington Post
"Robin Lloyd tells the story of a young man's moral journey set against the exotic, alluring, repellant background of colonial, slave-owning Havana during the American Civil War. Readers will be swept away by the drama, romance, and intrigue of this tale--taken from real historical events and made thrilling, memorable, and meaningful by a sure-handed author."--Evan Thomas, bestselling author of Being Nixon, John Paul Jones, and The War Lovers
