"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.
Autorenporträt
Ian Hughes is a Scottish writer whose voice blends raw truth with lyrical depth. Born amidst hardship and raised in the grey edges of society, Ian learned early how to survive storms-both within and around. Their memoir, Storm Child, is a testament to that journey: unflinching, poetic, and fiercely human. Ian is also the author of the Echo of Fate fantasy series-a mythic saga of memory, fire, and resistance-and The Elijah Hall Chronicles, a collection of historical fiction vignettes set during the age of sail. When not writing, Ian can be found wandering wild coastlines, collecting forgotten stories, and honouring the quiet resilience it takes to live, remember, and speak. ¿¿¿¿ ¿¿¿¿ Instagram: @ihughes88
