Amazon Flow

Amazon Flow shines a light on one of Earth's least known and most threatened ecosystems 

while delivering a thrilling tale of survival and exploration. 

 Colorado Springs, Colo. - Tactical 16 Publishing announced today the signing of Anthony Hicks for Amazon Flow. Hicks delivers a gripping fictional adventure thriller blending science, military realism, and friendship in one of Earth's most mysterious ecosystems. His book can be purchased at T16, the publisher's book-buying website: https://t16books.com/.

"My hope in writing this book is to ignite readers' curiosity for exploration and their appreciation of courage, focus, and discovery in an uncertain world," said Hicks, a U.S. Navy veteran and professional pilot with a background in geological science and meteorology. "Amazon Flow fuses scientific exploration with the pace of a modern thriller. It's a story for readers who crave realism, emotional depth, and the thrill of the unknown."

 The story begins with four friends who reunite for a Caribbean diving adventure: Jack, a former Navy pilot turned private aviator; Maya, a passionate marine biologist; Cole, an ex-Force Recon Marine; and Evan, a restless tech entrepreneur. A simple escape from the ordinary quickly becomes an extraordinary expedition when the team chases rumors of a hidden reef thriving beneath the Amazon River's outflow. Their discovery of a remarkable and little-known ecosystem is soon overshadowed by a sudden military invasion across the Guianas, leaving them trapped behind enemy lines. As conflict spreads and their lives are at risk, the group must draw upon their unique skills, courage, and friendship to protect their discovery and each other and ultimately fight for humanity's conscience.

""Anthony Hicks delivers a pulse-pounding, timely thriller infused with authentic firsthand experience," said Chris Schafer, CEO at Tactical 16 Publishing. "You're transported into the action because Anthony has truly been there and done it all. An exhilarating, fast-paced read."

Drawing on his passion for aviation, exploration, and adventure, Hicks is the founder of Deep Blue Adventure & Aviation, where he leads storm-chasing and SCUBA diving expeditions and develops advanced pilot training programs. He also created Navigating Convective Weather, a course that helps aviators safely navigate challenging atmospheric conditions. Learn more at
