THE LONG TIDE

He Trained for Every War. Except This One.

By: William Ferrier Jr.

Narrated by: Virtual Voice

A modern Navy SEAL is thrown back to D-Day. His training prepared him for everything—except this.

Cole Brannon is a Master Chief at DEVGRU, the most elite special operations unit in history. Sixteen years of combat across four continents. Night vision. Satellite uplinks. Precision-guided everything.

None of it explains what he is doing in the English Channel at dawn on the sixth of June, 1944.

Pulled through time by a force he cannot understand, Cole wakes in the surf off Omaha Beach wearing wool and a steel helmet, carrying a rifle that was obsolete before he was born. The fleet is behind him. The machine guns are ahead. And the men dying around him are fighting a war he studied in a textbook.

To survive, Cole must bury everything he is—his identity, his knowledge, his century—and become a sergeant in a platoon that is being destroyed by the bocage hedgerows of Normandy. He teaches modern tactics to men who fight with bayonets. He saves lives with medical techniques that won't be invented for sixty years. He falls in with a French Resistance operative whose courage matches his own. And he carries a secret that could alter the course of history—a secret that is already attracting the attention of a relentless Army counterintelligence officer who knows Cole Brannon is not what his dog tags say.

As the war grinds south through the hedgerows toward the breakout at Saint-Lô, Cole must choose: protect the timeline he may never return to, or save the men he has come to love?
