‘Clear echoes of Tom Clancy in the procedural authenticity… Greco brings a more controlled, modern restraint to the genre. An unreservedly recommended Golden Quill read.’
— BookViral on Book #1 of The Watchmaker series

Forty-seven ships. Three allied nations. One failure signature that should not exist.
John Beech builds watches in his off hours. Titanium components. Tolerances measured in microns. No assumptions, no shortcuts, no margin for error. He applies the same discipline to his real work — finding the mechanical failures that kill sailors before anyone knows they’re dying.

His program doesn’t appear in any budget. His training isn’t in any manual. He exists because the Navy needed someone who catches what everyone else misses.

What he’s found this time isn’t a failure pattern. It’s a ledger. Someone has been running a decade-long underwater sabotage campaign against allied shipping — surgical, patient, and completely invisible. They’ve been doing it for years. And they’ve been keeping score.

The operation is older than Beech. The people who built it anticipated every countermeasure. They’ve sent a cleanup crew — Red Depth, highly trained operators working in the black to bury what Beech has found — and they’re already in the water.

Beech has one edge. OCT-alpha — a classified bio-mimetic platform that goes where no diver can, sees what no sensor finds, and leaves no trace. The most advanced asset the program has ever fielded.

The question is whether it’s enough.

Red Ledger is Book 2 of The Watchmaker Series — a relentless deep-sea military thriller built for readers who want the real thing. The gear is real. The tactics are real. The stakes are total.

The ledger doesn’t lie. Someone’s been keeping score.
Now it’s Beech’s turn.

Perfect for fans of Jack Carr, Brad Thor, Vince Flynn, and Tom Clancy.
