About the author

Tim Robinson is a third generation Floridian, his grandfather having taken up a 100 acre homestead on Cape Canaveral in 1924. It was his grandfather and father who instilled in him a love for everything Florida. Tim grew up in West Palm Beach, halfway between saltwater Lake Worth and freshwater Lake Mangonia, where he spent his childhood and youth traipsing through the woods or biking over to the beach or taking in the wonders of Florida in some fashion or another. He lives with his wife, Connie, on a small farm in Indiantown, Florida.

Reviews

Another in the series as it ties up some loose ends and gives a lot of perspective as to the characters from previous books in the series. New characters are introduced and we wonder who will end up with who and will they continue to be pioneers. Lot's of good local history too. I find I am enjoying the series more with each new book.

I will admit that I didn’t like this book as much as the others. At least at first. But when Charlie was introduced, well I couldn’t help myself and started liking it more. There is something to say about the familiar. I do recommend it, especially if you have read the others.

Great Florida History with an amazing story

I love learning about Florida history. I learned new history. The story written around were the history was shocking, worrysome, and fabulous! Its a great read.

I’ve read a lot of Tim’s books. The Hermit is one of his best. So many characters evolve and go through changes for the better. It was a pleasure to read. Loved seeing the old salt Charlie MacLeod’s impact on other characters but I know others will eventually bring him back!

As with the rest of the books in this series, GREAT. I feel like I write the same thing in every review because the series flows together but can also be read out of order.

Great series, once you get started, you can't stop.
