The Narrowest Water – Kobo eBook

Singapore. The near future. Two superpowers are closing in.

When China imposes a quarantine around Taiwan, a Singapore tanker is caught in the middle. Within hours, Rachel Lim, a young minister and former naval officer, must make an impossible choice: challenge a great power, accept its rules, or find another way.

But the crisis is only beginning.

As undersea cables are severed, warships confront one another in Singapore’s crowded waters, and thousands of citizens become stranded in Taiwan, pressure mounts from both Washington and Beijing. Soon Rachel’s family, career, and country are caught in the squeeze.

Every decision carries a price. Every act of neutrality is seen as betrayal.

With war edging closer, Rachel discovers that survival for a small nation does not mean choosing the stronger side. It means having the courage to stand by its own rules, even when both sides demand otherwise.

The Narrowest Water is a geopolitical thriller about power, loyalty, sacrifice, and what it means for a small country to stand its ground when giants collide.
