"Call me Hall. And let this be the chart by which forgotten men are brought home."
In the storm-shadowed twilight of a revolutionary age, former seaman Elijah Hall visits the dying Captain John Paul Jones in a Parisian chamber thick with memory and regret. But this is no ordinary farewell.
Through firelit readings of Jones's private journals-and his own haunted recollections-Hall recounts the brutal truths behind the American naval war for independence. From the daring raid at Whitehaven to the inferno of the Bonhomme Richard, from duels and betrayals to forgotten victories, each chapter reveals the hidden costs of glory and the men lost between the lines of history.
Blending historical fiction with lyrical prose and journal-style narration, The Elijah Hall Chronicles is a stirring meditation on leadership, legacy, and the silence that follows the cannon fire. More than a tale of war, it's a requiem for those history nearly left behind.
Perfect for readers of Patrick O'Brian, C.S. Forester, and lovers of historical fiction steeped in grit, grace, and the salt-stained truths of the sea.
