Red Tide tells the story of Myah, a 27-year-old marine biologist working for NASA on a grant to study marine life on the Great Barrier Reef. She enjoys her life in Australia but is abruptly recalled to Florida to meet with her grant sponsor who wants to send a marine biologist to Mars as part of his team searching for past life on the planet. He has chosen Myah for the mission and convinces her to return to Mars with him by showing her a piece of sediment found in a bore sample taken from the Martian Frontier. Red Tide follows Myah's journey, first to Armstrong City, a tourist colony on the Moon, and then continues on a transport headed to the mining colony on Mars. Myah believes the sediment rock may be further evidence proving that a vast surface ocean once existed on Mars but isn't convinced it proves life once existed on the planet. She reluctantly agrees to go and, once there, joins a team of scientists on an expedition following that clue onto the Martian Frontier. There they survive the hostile atmosphere and destructive Martian winds and discover a hidden secret about the planet.

This book gives the reader a picture of life at the end of the 21st Century. It is a world your grandchildren are likely to experience. A world where the commercialization of space and space tourism has become common place and regularly takes humans to the Moon, where tourism is based on the motto "What happens on the far side of the Moon, stays on the far side.", and to the Martian colony, which by contrast is a for profit mining colony where everyone works. Can you imagine what that world will be like? Let Red Tide take you there.

Jim Grebey lives on the Space Coast of Florida and grew up in the days of the Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo space programs. He remembers what it was like to sit on the gymnasium floor as a child watching in awe as people like Allen Shepard and John Glenn blasted off from Cape Canaveral before it was named as the Kennedy Space Center. These were days when Astronauts were heroes whose name were on every kid's mind. Its no mistake of fortune that brought Jim Grebey to live on the Space Coast of Florida as an adult. He was present to watch numerous Space Shuttle launches and watch the launch of the Falcon 9 heavy rocket as it returned Americans to the space station. Watching those launches from his backyard is as exciting today as it was as a child. Today the names of the Mercury astronauts have been replaced with new heroes. Names like Elon Musk who is redefining the direction of space exploration. Jim Grebey has always been a storyteller with a vivid imagination. In Red Tide he turns his imagination and love for all things space loose. In Red Tide he presents a vision of the future. Now, let Red Tide challenge your imagination. Join Jim Grebey and let your vision of the future run wild.
