Life for Shane Rosdale means a few short nights each week dealing blackjack at South Lake Casino, a stark contrast to the endless summer days he enjoys adrift on the currents of the infinite sea, with a surfboard at his back and the sun's warmth upon his face. He lives for the moment, never plans for the future, and answers to no one. Life is too short and too precious to mindlessly squander away on responsibility, material possessions, or claustrophobic relationships-at least until he meets up with a mysterious young woman, Samantha McIntyre, a woman with the propensity to pry, uninvited, into others' personal lives; a redhead with ideas about Shane's true self-a man who blinds himself to a past locked away in the deep recesses of cognizance. Self-confident, stubborn, and careful to keep those she deems as dangerous out of her life, Samantha McIntyre struggles each and every day to regain a life she once knew, a life that she has been stripped of, cheated by a corporation hell-bent on keeping her in the dark, and for very good reason. In the world of Nano, the human race is on a crash course for extinction, taking into account that they don't first annihilate themselves. Red Tide dares one to rethink their perception of reality, takes them to another level. It is not a book for the faint of heart, or for those who live precariously inside the glass boundaries of a fishbowl. It will open all eyes to possibilities that exist outside conventional wisdom and rationality-a whole new perspective on what society defines as a normal existence. For Samantha, nothing is normal. Every turn, every step, and every breath she takes leads her further and further into an elusive past; one she soon finds to be a bit more than what she bargained for.
