"M.P. Woodward's Red Tide is a high-stakes, adrenaline-laced naval thriller ripped straight from tomorrow's headlines. The best thriller I've read this year! With missiles in the air and warships on the move, it's a masterclass in geopolitical strategy and military tactics, humanized through a foundation of bonds forged in the crucible of combat. A former U.S. Naval Intelligence officer, Woodward brings authentic insight and razor-sharp storytelling to every page, creating a terrifyingly plausible scenario of the next world war, one I pray remains a work of fiction. Read it today!" --Jack Carr, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Sky Mourning

"Authentic and electrifying, Red Tide's shocking sea actions and high-stakes geopolitical dramas rhyme with history and ring with truth. This is one sea story you don't want to miss!"--Adm. James Stavridis, USN (Ret.), 16th Supreme Allied Commander of NATO and author of The Admiral's Bookshelf

"Pacific tensions boil over in a final clash for Taiwan, and one naval family emerges as the best hope to maintain the freedom of the seas. Red Tide is a finely crafted military thriller and one hell of a sea story."--Ward Carroll, Host of Ward Carroll YouTube Channel and author of Punk's Force

"Woodward expertly blends geopolitical tension, naval operations, and emotional depth. How the author kept Lucy Cole and Gabe Sorkin from stealing the entire show is a literary miracle. Red Tide is an intensely gripping military thriller, but also a heartfelt salute to those who serve, and the families who serve beside them."--Suspense Magazine

"With its tightly woven plot, brisk pacing, and well-crafted characters, Red Tide is more than a top-notch military thriller, it's a spellbinding and deeply authentic immersion into modern warfare that shows true heart. M.P. Woodward, a master storyteller who writes with an insider's knowledge, clearly brought his A-game on this one. Red Tide is the best naval thriller I've ever read."--Simon Gervais, former RCMP counterterrorism officer and bestselling author of The Elias Network

"Tensions between China and the United States have never been higher as both nations compete for access to advanced semiconductor chips produced only in Taiwan. Pearl Harbor comes to mind as the Chinese launch a surprise attack, crippling the U.S. fleet with devastating missile strikes while knocking American GPS, communications, and reconnaissance satellites out of orbit. A modernized Chinese fleet blockades Taiwan and seizes control of Pacific Sea lanes, throttling global commerce. One courageous military family, the Coles, are at the center of thwarting the Chinese in this war where the US must destroy the Chinese fleet and retake Taiwan. To succeed, Will Cole decides to listen to the reserve commander and tech-savvy venture capitalist Gabe Sorkin. With ties to the DOD's new Defense Innovation Office, Sorkin pushes Cole to think outside the bureaucratic box. There is plenty of action but also some family drama. Blend geographical tension within action-filled realistic plot."--Military Press

"Red Tide is a lean, fast-paced thriller. The beginning starts with a bang, and the tension builds continuously before the first shots are fired. Once things get moving, the energy level stays high, and crises come by the dozens... Not only is Red Tide an excellent thriller on its own merits, it may well signal that there is a new contender for the military thriller crown." -- Epoch Times
