About this listen
Inspired by actual events, No Salvation features the USS Salvation as it sails for months on end in the South China Sea in the violent closing days of the Vietnam War. Exhaustion, drugs, and discontent run rampant aboard ship and crew morale is at an all-time low. These conditions affect four thousand men being sequestered for months on end without port visits has everyone on edge.
This is 1972, a time when inequality and racial tension permeated ships fleet-wide. As a way to mitigate racial unrest, the ship's captain brings in Commander Robert Porter as his Executive Officer. Commander Porter isn't sure if he's been selected for the job because of his skills or for the color of his skin, but the black crew doesn't accept him.
Amid rampant drug use and various forms of sabotage, the biggest challenge to the ship's performance and the crew's safety is a series of violent attacks made by planes launching from the flight deck, but more perilous are the racial tensions boiling below.
Porter is uniquely positioned to save them all, but can he? If so, at what cost?

Critic reviews
"Terrific read!" (Les Edgerton, author of 18 books, including Bomb, The Rapist, Monday's Meal, and The Genuine, Imitation, Plastic Kidnapping)
"In Jeff Hess's explosive outstanding new novel, intricacyand intimacy combine to portray a haunting race war on a US Naval Carrier. It'sas if the best of Robert Stone intersected with the best of Tom Clancy. Ahaunting and original and constantly entertaining book. It ought to be a majormotion picture." (Fred Leebron, author of SixFigures, Out West, and Welcome to Christiania)
