Tidal Trap find hero Jefferson Parker is quickly embroiled in an international chase of global proportions. When invited to visit his friend at a Naval station in Maine, Parker is recruited to undertake a covert mission. At first he refuses, but after an attack on the station and the disappearance of his friend, Parker accepts his role. From the North Atlantic to the Coast of Maine, from Iceland to Spain, Parker and his schooner crew are drawn ever deeper into intrigue and betrayal. At stake, the security of America’s submarine force and the lives of countless people. Behind the obvious conflict arises a secret past for both Parker and Taylor Stephenson, a seemingly
innocent bystander. Not to be so easily pushed aside, there’s Carla Gianni too, who is a crewmember on Parker’s schooner. She too is very much in love with Jeff and isn’t about to let Taylor walk away with the prize.
Join Parker and the US Navy, as they struggle to find solutions to a third-world rogue submarine, hidden agendas that reside within Congress and the CIA, and environmental issues revolving around dolphins used as weapons. Through it all, Parker must come to terms with a mission betrayed, a crew to lead and protect, and a choice between two women he professes to love.
As you travel from Winter Harbor, Maine to Keflavik, Iceland to Rota, Spain - be prepared for intertwined plots, characters you care for and edge-of-the-seat action. Tidal Trap will take you on a journey into attack
submarines, across storm-swept oceans in a fast sailing ship, and behind doors with political trade-offs. The headlines of tomorrow are realized on the pages of Tidal Trap.
Recent Review
Trust does not come easy to Ex-Navy SEAL, and former Navy Captain,
Jefferson Parker. He has reason to be leery, while in the Navy, Parker was
wrongfully accused of a series of crimes. Bound by honor he refused to
reveal the truth that would clear his name. Unwilling to break his code of
silence, he cut a deal, rather than face Court Martial he agreed to resign
from the Navy.
Now a civilian Parker is the Skipper of his own schooner. His crew
consists of his former first mate, Jock Fowler and the woman he had once
hoped to marry, Carla Gianni. A series of misunderstanding separated them.
Carla she is determined to get Parker back. To do this she must compete
with the new woman in Parker's life, Taylor Stephenson.
Although Parker doesn't know it, an incident in his past links him to
Taylor. Their original meeting was not by chance; Taylor has a secret
agenda, which could result in Parker's death.
Through a series of mysterious events, that began with an invitation from
Captain Malcolm Wright, Commanding officer at Schoodic a Naval base in
Maine, Parker (working outside normal channels) volunteers to lead a
covert mission.
Things go awry when the Naval base is attacked and Wright disappears.
Wright manages to leave Parker enough information to continue with the
mission, but with Wright missing, Parker has no backup unit, and the
original plan drawn up by Wright must be altered. Nothing is as it seems.
Parker and his crew are headed for trouble.
Jefferson Parker's sense of honor and duty make him an unforgettable hero.
Non-stop action, and unexpected plot twists make TIDAL TRAP a must read
for fans of military fiction.
