{"product_id":"silent-tide-david-parodi-9798272546630","title":"Silent Tide","description":"\u003cp\u003eIn the narrow throat of the Strait of Gibraltar, two predators circle the same patch of sea. Below, a disgraced submariner takes the helm of a battered ex-Soviet diesel boat, trading silence and steel for second chances. Above, the frigate captain who once outplayed him now drives a cutting-edge warship at full throttle, determined to finish a rivalry that started in training and turned personal on land.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Silent Tide is a high-velocity technothriller of cat-and-mouse warfare where every choice is a wager with oxygen, batteries, and pride. Smuggling runs become combat patrols. Midnight transfers under the glow of superyachts turn into knife-fight chases through tankers and ferries. Sonar pings bloom like flares in the dark as thermoclines, tides, and shipping lanes become weapons. One captain owns the deep, the other commands the surface, and neither intends to blink.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs criminal kingpins squeeze from one side and the Royal Navy closes from the other, the stakes climb with each dive and sprint. The submarine must stay quiet as a held breath, riding eddies, dodging dipping sonar, and nursing failing systems. The frigate answers with speed, helicopters, and relentless discipline, turning the world's busiest waterway into a trap that is always one step from springing shut.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is a story of rivals who know each other's habits, tells, and fears. It is about what happens when mastery meets obsession and when old betrayals steer new battles. From Atlantic swells to Mediterranean glare, from the hiss of compressed air to the roar of turbines, The Silent Tide drives forward on momentum and menace, never letting the reader come fully up for air.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhen the final pursuit tightens in the Strait, one hunter will force the other to surface, but the cost of victory may exceed the prize. The sea keeps its secrets, and some endings echo long after the wake has faded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePerfect for readers who crave fast action, authentic maritime detail, and a duel that rages above and below the waterline.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Parodi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798272546630\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 230\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.51lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.00h x 5.00w x 0.48d","brand":"David Parodi","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":49170828067071,"sku":"9798272546630","price":13.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/silent-tide-david-parodi-9798272546630","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
