“Richard Triebe has masterfully blended historical and fictional characters in his story of Civil War blockade-running.
On A Rising Tide has romance, murder, combat on land and at sea, and suspense—each fits nicely into the author’s exciting tale.”
Wilbur D. Jones, Jr., award-winning author and military historian
“
On A Rising Tide is a wonderful account of our area and a grim reminder of our country’s broken past. If you are interested in the Civil War, the history of our area and love to hear a good story, I suggest you read this book.”
Mitchell Houska, staff writer for the Carolina Beach Island Gazette
“Intriguing story of a Southern blockade-runner during the War Between the States. Refreshingly different.
On A Rising Tide has it all: Adventure. Suspense. Romance. I didn’t want to put it down.”
Reece Sexton, publisher of the Civil War Courier
“In the twilight days of the Civil War, Captain Wade McKay is among a special breed of men willing to brave the massive Federal Naval blockade to bring medicine and supplies to the city of Wilmington.
On A Rising Tide is not only well researched and written, but is a stark reminder of the danger, intrigue, false glory, and shattering heartbreak of a war between countrymen.”
Wanda Canada, author of Island Murders and Cape Fear Murders
On A Rising Tide is filled with excitement, believable characters you care about, and realistic scenes that give us insight to the past. If you enjoy thrilling adventure, suspenseful danger, and historical romance, you’ll want to read this book. Civil War and history buffs will find themselves caught up in the fast paced story. I hope we see more novels from this talented author.
