A gripping 45-minute historical war story inspired by the real Battle of Lake Erie.
September 1813.
The American invasion of Canada has failed. US lines across the Northwest Territory teeter on the edge of collapse. The British Royal Navy sails the Great Lakes with impunity. But on Lake Erie, a small, desperate American fleet prepares for one last chance to turn the tide.
Joshua Nelson, a young crewman aboard the USS Lawrence, never aspired to glory when he volunteered to serve his country. But when Commodore Oliver Hazard Perry orders a bold and dangerous maneuver against the British squadron, Joshua is thrust into the heart of one of the most decisive naval battles in American history.
As the fate of the young nation hangs in the balance, Joshua must find the courage to fight on through choking smoke, splintering wood, and the roar of cannon fire to return to the family he left behind.
A gripping, fast-paced historical short story, Waves and War brings the Battle of Lake Erie to life through the eyes of a sailor striving to live up to the words on his commander’s battle flag: DON’T GIVE UP THE SHIP.
Perfect for fans of Bernard Cornwell, Patrick O’Brian, and short military fiction.
