The ocean has always hidden secrets. This time, it refuses to keep them. When fishing vessels vanish without a trace and sonar arrays pick up impossible pulses rising from the deep, Federal Investigator Alex Rourke is pulled into a case his superiors want buried. Witnesses disappear. Evidence is seized. The truth is smothered under classified orders and whispered threats. But something beneath the waves is awakening, and the deeper Rourke digs, the less human the answers become. With the help of oceanographer Dr. Evelyn Zhou, Rourke uncovers wreckage warped by forces no machine could create, survivors muttering a four-beat rhythm burned into their minds, and a government desperate to hide what it cannot control. As hydrophone arrays fail one by one and storms form in unnatural geometric patterns, a terrifying realization emerges: The ocean is not alone.Something on the moon is answering. When glowing leviathans breach in harbors worldwide and unknown craft streak down from lunar orbit, the world watches the impossible unfold live across every screen. Suppression collapses, panic ignites, and Earth becomes the meeting point between two vast, converging forces. The tide isn't receding.It's rising. Vanishing Tide begins a sweeping new sci-fi thriller series where the ocean's depths and the silence of space join in a single, chilling message: We were never alone-only unprepared.
