About This Book
When the enemy isn't just foreign but domestic — wearing suits and wielding influence from positions of power — the threat becomes something far harder to fight. Riptide picks up with Foster Quinn still carrying the weight of past betrayals, and drops him into a conspiracy that stretches from Caribbean waters to the corridors of American politics. The stakes here aren't abstract: they're personal, urgent, and uncomfortably plausible. Chad Robichaux and Jack Stewart tap into a anxiety that feels ripped from today's headlines — the idea that the real danger might already be inside the building.
What distinguishes Riptide as a reading experience is its sense of escalating geography and tension. The story moves — from sun-drenched coastal waters to Pacific Northwest wealth — and the authors use those contrasts deliberately, letting setting do real narrative work. Robichaux brings authentic operational credibility to the action, while Stewart's background in military aviation keeps the pacing disciplined and sharp. The prose doesn't waste time, and neither does the plot. For readers who want their thrillers grounded in real-world mechanics rather than Hollywood convenience, this delivers exactly that.
