Description
On the bridge of the Argus Wave, Second Officer Callum Reid trusts routine and his loyal crew—but a mysterious radar return, a string of violent incidents ashore, and whispers of conspiracy shatter his security. As the tanker navigates the perilous Bab el-Mandeb Strait, pirates strike, and Callum is thrust into command as a hostage crisis unfolds, putting every skill, judgement, and bond to the ultimate test.
From tense drills to desperate hand-to-hand struggles and moral choices under fire, Silent Tide brings readers deep into the rhythms and dangers of real-life seafaring. Loyalties collide, trauma resurfaces, and Callum—haunted by old failures—must rally a multinational crew where every decision means survival or death. Blending visceral action, authentic nautical detail, and emotional depth, this is maritime suspense where every horizon conceals new peril—and courage is all that keeps darkness at bay.
