The world trusts its systems. Bill knows better.
When a series of seemingly unrelated anomalies begins appearing across the Pacific, retired Royal New Zealand Navy Warrant Officer Bill Rathburne and his wife Jesse are drawn into a crisis no government fully understands.
Shipping routes change without explanation. Military information contradicts what experienced operators can see with their own eyes. Communications fail at exactly the wrong moments.
From New Zealand and Australia to Singapore, Guam and the contested waters of the Pacific, something is quietly manipulating the information nations rely on to make critical decisions.
And Bill has seen the thinking behind it before.
What begins as an investigation becomes a race to uncover Kestrel, a technology capable of something far more dangerous than simply hacking military systems.
It can make trusted systems convincingly wrong.
As governments struggle to separate truth from deception, Bill, Jesse and intelligence specialist Sarah Keegan are drawn into an increasingly dangerous pursuit of the man behind it all, a man whose connection to Bill reaches decades into the past.
Stopping Kestrel will require more than technology.
It will require judgement. Loyalty. Trust.
And, ultimately, sacrifice.
Set across New Zealand, Australia and Southeast Asia, Black Tide is Book Three of The Pacific Signal Series, a fast-moving international thriller about the terrifying vulnerability of a world that has learned to trust what its machines tell it.
Because when every screen agrees, who is brave enough to say they are all wrong?
