In the early days of World War II, the USS Mahan, a battle-worn Wickes-class destroyer, vanishes in a sudden electrical storm off the Atlantic coast-only to reappear in the Caribbean Sea during the height of the Golden Age of Piracy.
Led by the stalwart Commander David Mitchell, the crew must grapple with the brutal realities of 18th-century life: vicious pirates, cutthroat politics, and empires on the brink of war. As the modern warship's presence disrupts the delicate balance between colonial powers-England, Spain, France, and the Dutch-the Mahan becomes both a prize and a threat to the world it was never meant to enter.
When alliances form and betrayals strike from within, Mitchell and his crew must fight not just to survive-but to decide whether their future lies in returning home or forging a new destiny amidst cannons, corsairs, and conspiracy.
Steel and Salt: The Mahan Chronicles is a high-stakes saga of honor, loyalty, and time-tossed warfare on the high seas.
