Overview
Humanity struck the aliens with nuclear fire — and the sea struck back.
In retaliation for a US nuclear strike, the alien Fish unleash devastating tidal waves that shatter America's west coast, throwing the war effort into chaos as the military and militia scramble to redraw the lines of battle.
Desperate for any edge, the Extraterrestrial Task Force gambles on a new biological weapon to stem humanity's losses. But their greatest asset, Colonel Ashton Slade, is snared in a ruthless Washington power play with a target on his back and enemy spies already inside the organization. As Cain and Falto fight on amid the ruins of Seattle, a young ASHUR pilot named Bianca Cordova confronts the mistakes of her past, an NYPD detective battles for a Manhattan being ground to rubble, and a tank crew in North Carolina faces its deadliest threat yet.
Book Eight of the LAND&SEA series, Tsunami of Turmoil escalates Season Two with treachery, sacrifice, and relentless mechanized warfare.
The tide is rising... and it's carrying turmoil.
