Synopsis

A gripping military thriller of naval warfare and geopolitical suspense, where a Navy rear admiral must defy impossible odds to stop a Pacific conflict over advanced semiconductor chips from igniting World War III, perfect for fans of Jack Carr and Tom Clancy.

A rising superpower. A world on the brink. One admiral with everything to lose.

The US Navy is pushed to its limits as China’s growing fleet casts a long shadow over the Pacific. Both nations are locked in a deadly race for control of Taiwan’s advanced semiconductor technology, the key to global dominance. The stakes are nothing short of war.

Rear Adm. Will Cole thought his battles were over. With decades of hard-fought service behind him, he was ready to hand over the reins to the next generation of “fighting Coles.” His children are primed to carry on the fight in their own ways, from the cockpit of an F-18 to the merchant ships that fuel the economy. But when simmering tensions explode into an all-out conflict, Will is thrust back into action. His orders? Destroy the Chinese fleet and retake Taiwan at any cost.

The mission is as unthinkable as it is impossible—for failure means losing everything he holds dear. Will must lead his team against insurmountable odds to win the ultimate battle for freedom, risking his family and his legacy in the fight of a lifetime.

For fans of gripping military thrillers and heart-pounding action, Red Tide blends high-stakes geopolitical intrigue with the unbreakable bonds of family loyalty.

Goodreads review by Kent on October 29, 2025

It should have easily been a 5* read. Overall the story is great. But about halfway in, the author introduces tech that is pivotal to the resolution of the story. And unfortunately that tech is just complete fantasy land bullshit that took me completely out of the story when it hit. Also, the third ac......more

Goodreads review by Neil on November 30, 2025

Either 3 or 4 stars. I'll figure it out at the end. It was an interesting story. It starts out with a prologue, then jumps back in time 30 days and proceeds forward to catch back up with "the present." Because of this, it felt like it both took a bit of time to build up while moving forward at a dece......more
