The Sea Above the Tree Line
A Mountain Rescue Novel

About this book:

When the oceans surge inland and drown the Sierra Nevada, the timberline becomes a shoreline and every peak a lonely island. Ben MacInnes, a grizzled mountain rescuer, must trade his ropes and carabiners for a battered Zodiac as he races against rising tides to save strangers who treat the catastrophe like a yachting holiday.

From the granite spires of Cathedral Peak to the frozen depths of Tioga Pass, each chapter plunges readers into a surreal, water‑logged wilderness where drowned forests glow beneath turquoise swells and hidden reefs threaten to shred a rescue boat in a heartbeat. The story blends high‑stakes technical rescue, haunting ecological grief, and the stubborn hope that the mountains—still standing beneath the sea—will one day breathe again.

If you crave a thriller that feels both epic and intimate, where every rescue is a battle against nature’s new order and every wave carries the echo of a lost world, *The Sea Above the Tree Line* will pull you under and refuse to let you surface. Dive in—and discover what it means to save lives when the ocean has become the mountain’s newest frontier.
