The sea keeps its secrets... until someone notices the pattern.
Months after exposing a sophisticated autonomous smuggling network along the Texas border, former Marine helicopter pilot Jason Crowe is finally getting his life back on track. His company, Horizon Mapping LLC, is growing, and the dangerous investigation that changed everything is behind him-or so he thinks.
When Coast Guard officials ask Jason to review a series of unexplained communications failures in the Florida Keys, he expects a routine consultation. Instead, he discovers something no one else has seen.
Strange buoys. Disappearing semi-submersibles. Radios that fail at exactly the wrong moment.
As Jason pieces together the clues, he realizes the cartels have evolved. Hidden beneath the waters of the Keys is a sophisticated network designed to create temporary blind spots in Coast Guard communications-just long enough for illegal cargo to slip into the United States unnoticed.
With a tropical storm closing in and time running out, Jason joins a Coast Guard task force in a race through mangrove channels and open water to stop an operation far more advanced than anyone imagined.
Ghost Tide Rising is a fast-paced military thriller blending cutting-edge drone technology, Coast Guard operations, and real-world tactics into a suspenseful story of innovation, courage, and the one man who keeps finding the anomalies everyone else misses.
If you enjoy Tom Clancy-style suspense, modern military technology, and authentic action, you'll love the next Jason Crowe adventure.
