THE OCEAN HAS DECLARED WAR ON MANKIND.
When a US Navy ballistic missile submarine is lost with all hands off Bermuda, marine biologist and engineer Stede Buckhannon is called in to investigate, alongside his wife and fellow scientist, Hailey. A former operator with Britain's elite Special Boat Service, Stede has spent his life challenging the ocean, first as a commando, then as the maverick designer of the revolutionary submersible the Manta Wraith. Now the ocean is answering back. Sharks massing in silent formation. Predators and prey swimming side by side. Something down there is watching. Waiting. Organising.
Then the attacks begin.
Monsters from Japanese folklore annihilate a whaling fleet in the Southern Ocean. A kraken drags the hunting boats of the Faroe Islands beneath the waves. A shark out of prehistory stalks poachers through tropical shallows. From London to Tokyo, the creatures of myth and nightmare are rising, and one by one the world's harbours fall silent.
Aboard the Manta Wraith, Stede and Hailey uncover a signal spreading through every ocean basin on Earth. It is not noise. It is not natural. It is a conversation, and the sea is answering.
The trail leads aboard the Royal Navy submarine HMS Prospero on a desperate voyage through hostile waters to the ancient seas of the Mediterranean, where something older than civilisation waits in the dark. The Navy made Stede a weapon, then cast him aside. Now mankind's survival depends on every skill it ever taught him. To end the war, he and Hailey must come face to face with the power behind it, and confront the truth about the signal, the sea, and humanity's place in a world that was never truly ours.
A pulse-pounding deep-sea thriller for fans of Peter Benchley's JAWS, Steve Alten's MEG, Clive Cussler and James Rollins.
Sea monsters. Cutting-edge ocean technology. A mystery buried at the bottom of the ocean. Dark Tides is a creature-feature adventure that will keep you out of the water.
Genre: Thriller
