Week 38 Review: Tides of Fire

From Goodreads:

In the latest riveting thriller from the #1 New York Times bestselling author, an international research station in the Coral Sea comes under siege during a geological disaster that triggers massive quakes, deadly tsunamis, and volcanic eruptions. To stop the world from burning, it’s up to Sigma Force to uncover a secret buried at the heart of our planet. 

The Titan Project—an international research station off the coast of Australia—discovers a thriving zone of life in an otherwise dead sea. The area teems with a strange bioluminescent coral that defies science, yet holds great promise for the future. But the loss of a military submarine in the area triggers a brutal attack and sets in motion a geological disaster that destabilizes an entire region.

Massive quakes, volcanic eruptions, and deadly tsunamis herald a greater cataclysm to come—for something is stirring miles under the ocean, a threat hidden for millennia.

As seas turn toxic and coastlines burn, can Sigma Force stop what has been let loose—especially as an old adversary returns, hunting them and thwarting their every move For any hope of success, Commander Gray Pierce must search for a key buried in the past, hidden deep in Aboriginal mythology. But what Sigma could uncover is even more frightening—something that will shake the very foundations of humanity.

My Review:
I just loved this book! I love this series so much, and while the previous book came out in April 2022, it feels longer. It was so great to be back in this world with these characters as they dealt with the latest disaster! And man, what a story! 

There was a bit of a story with Gray and Seichan, and their relationship, which unfortunately was a bit rocky with a failed proposal. But that gets put to the side when the latest adventure comes to call, between the attack at their son's birthday party, and the seas being disruptive, and they get to work on solving it. 

The whole thing with the moon and that how it was created from another celestial body hitting earth, and the moon used to be a part of the earth-and pieces of that other body was left in the moon and in earth, yeah, that was pretty cool. I just always love the mix of history, science and action in these books! 

Oh, but that ending? With her bombing Sigma's headquarters? I mean, it's not the first time that it's been targeted, but I'm so excited to see how things are going to progress after that! And after they had worked together briefly. Bah! 

This book was so excellent, and I can't wait for the next one!
