Description
Cannonball 204 by Michael Paul Hurd is a historical fiction novel that explores the lives of two men connected by their experiences in the United States Navy. In 2017, during an underwater salvage operation near Lake Erie, they stumbled upon cannonballs from the Battle of Lake Erie, which took place over 200 years earlier. The story unfolds as Marcus Harris, a re-enactor and docent, prepares to stack 204 cannonballs into a pyramid on South Bass Island. However, his life is forever changed by a sudden turn of events during the commemoration event. Hurd's novel weaves together historical fact and fiction to create an engaging narrative that delves into themes of history, friendship, and the power of the past to shape our present.
