ATLANTIS: BERMUDA TRIANGLE [Kindle Edition]

Book Description

By NY Times Bestselling Author Bob Mayer (author of the bestselling Area 51 series)

*****Updated May 2012*****

“Spell-binding! Will keep you on the edge of your seat. Call it techno-thriller, call it science fiction, call it just terrific story-telling.” Terry Brooks, #1 NY Times Bestselling author of the Shannara series and Star Wars Phantom Menace

What if the Shadow that destroyed Atlantis 10,000 years ago, comes back to threaten our present world?

A war beyond time. An enemy beyond space. A thriller beyond your wildest dreams. Three areas on the Earth’s surface defy explanation: the Bermuda Triangle, the Devil’s Sea of Japan, and a small region of Cambodia. Inside these realms, planes have disappeared, ships have vanished, and, in Cambodia, an entire civilization has been lost leaving behind Angkor Wat.

In the present, former Green Beret Eric Dane teams up with the mysterious Sin Fen, a woman with powers he can’t quite understand to fight the dark Shadow threatening the world.

In the year 1,000 AD, a fearsome Viking Warrior, must protect a Seer from Valkyries, Kraken and other forces of legend and help her on a quest that connects through mysterious gates to Dane’s battle in the present.

All around the planet, at the junction of ley lines, and where tectonic plates join, black gates are opening, letting the dark Shadow into our world, threatening the very planet itself. Can Dane, Sin Fen, the Viking and the Seer, combine forces across a millennium to save the planet?

If you enjoyed LOST, you’ll love this book and be amazed at the similarities in concept (although this book was published before Lost).

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

Viking warriors, Green Berets, priestesses and CIA agents populate this second installment of the Atlantis series. The evil forces that legend says destroyed Atlantis have returned to wreak havoc on the modern world; their first assault: consists of firing a nuclear missile from the waters of the Bermuda Triangle into a major fault in the Atlantic Ocean. America reacts by sending ex-Green Beret Eric Dane and a team of experts on an underwater mission to confront the Dark Ones. Meanwhile, Ragnarok, a first-century Viking, helps the priestess Tam Nok search for a powerful weapon to defeat the wicked Valkyries and is drawn into a parallel universe with Dane. Told in alternating chapters, the two stories converge for an unsatisfying conclusion in an underwater graveyard for ships, planes and other craft that have disappeared into the depths of the Bermuda Triangle over the centuries. The contemporary side of this militaristic SF tale is packed with long, technical digressions that slow the novel's pace, but the chapters on Ragnarok and Tam Nok's quest contain solid dialogue and evocative descriptions of fantastical enemies and ancient lands. Donegan's battle scenes will keep action readers happy, but those who prefer more well-rounded characters will be disappointed. (June)

After high school, he entered West Point where he learned about the history of our military and our country. During his four years at the Academy and later in the Infantry, Mayer questioned the idea of “mission over men.” When he volunteered and passed selection for the Special Forces as a Green Beret, he felt more at ease where the men were more important than the mission. Mayer’s obsession with mythology and his vast knowledge of the military and Special Forces, mixed with his strong desire to learn from history, is the foundation for his science fiction series Atlantis, Area 51 and Psychic Warrior. Mayer is a master at blending elements of truth into all of his thrillers, leaving the reader questioning what is real and what isn’t. He took this same passion and created thrillers based in fact and riddled with possibilities. His unique background in the Special Forces gives the reader a sense of authenticity and creates a reality that makes the reader wonder where fact ends and fiction begins. In his historical fiction novels, Mayer blends actual events with fictional characters. He doesn’t change history, but instead changes how history came into being. Mayer’s military background, coupled with his deep desire to understand the past and how it affects our future, gives his writing a rich flavor not to be missed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Good storyline, Unbeeleevibul umounnt ov speling errurz. December 28, 2010

By Derek Hall

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I've always loved Doherty's books. And this book, Atlantis - Bermuda Triangle - has a great storyline.

Here's the problem - it is unbelievable how many spelling errors there are in the Kindle version of this novel. I'm not exaggerating when I say that you can hardly get through 3 pages on-screen without finding one. Now, I'm no professional proofreader (maybe I should be), but that many errors is inexcusable. It completely disrupts the flow of the book, your brain having to decipher what in the world you just read.

And twice, believe it or not, the book had the wrong character talking! In a conversation between Dane and Sin Fen, all of a sudden Ariana was speaking, even though she wasn't in the "scene." Then it reverted back to Sin Fen. The second had a recently-dead captain speaking (about himself, I might add), then reverted back to the one that the reader KNEW to be alive and in the current conversation. I mean, c'mon, proofreaders...seriously?

I'd recommend this book to Doherty fans, but be prepared to jump through some mental hoops as you navigate the ungodly amount of errors.

4.0 out of 5 stars For conspiracy enthusiasists April 29, 2000

By Harriet Klausner #1 HALL OF FAME

Format:Mass Market Paperback

CIA agent Foreman meets with former Green Beret Eric Dane and apparent agent Sin Fen to discuss the Shadows. No one knows much about these invaders that try to enter the earth's surface through scattered gates such as those found in the Bermuda Triangle, Cambodia's Angkor, and Japan's Devil Sea. However, Forman worries that the enemy now possesses nuclear missile capability as the USS Wyoming vanished in the Bermuda Triangle gate.

The Shadows send nuclear missiles that strike the Mid-Atlantic Ridge where two tectonic plates lie. Apparently, the Shadows plan to cause pandemic destruction to a degree that the planet has not felt since the collapse of Atlantis in 10,000 BC. Dane and Fen must find the long lost "shield" that will protect the planet if humanity is to survive an enemy that wants to end mankind's reign.

ATLANTIS: BERMUDA TRIANGLE is an exciting military science fiction work that will please fans of non-stop action thrillers. Though Greg Donegan adds a little bit of this mythology and that myth into his mix, the tale remains entertainingly fun as long as the reader allows his or her credibility to be parked on the sidelines. Action, action, and more action is the theme of this plot as Dane and his forces try to stop an enemy whose long term strategic vision (thousands of years) is the mass destruction of Homo sapiens.

4.0 out of 5 stars It's NOT what everyone thinks it is.... August 18, 2009

By Janine M. Steiner

Format:Mass Market Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase

This series has had kind of a rough time here on the review boards. While I can understand why some have been disappointed and mostly agree with those who endorsed it I am still left with the feeling that everyone has rather missed the meaning and the meat of the story...
IT'S ABOUT WAR. It's about why we fight, how we do it, what it takes to keep on fighting and, in the end... that war across time, distance (both geographically and spiritually) and culture links us all in the greater struggle of trying to determine whether what we are fighting for is as meaningful, or is even for the reasons, that we think. From the Vikings and the Druids, to the Romans, Custer's Last Stand and the bloody fields of Gettysburg... the human condition seems to play itself out, for good or ill, on the battlefields we engage on. Granted, this plays out via a story that traces a group of people fighting an "ultimate" battle of sorts against a great foe of this planet whose attacks on humans spans a multitude of Earth timelines that go from Atlantis to the not-so-distant future. But, unlike many others, I never felt locked into the idea that it was THIS particular story that was the one that really mattered. In my mind, it was this part of the story that is used to demonstrate how TRULY IMPORTANT the other stories really are... And ironically, this would not have been a topic I would normally have been drawn to. I like science fiction and enjoy a good battle in a well-written story. But, for example, I stay away from The Honor Harrington books because I'm just not that big a fan of the battle scenes. But the Atlantis series was able to draw me in as if I could actually have been there. And because I have some knowledge of the battles G. Donegan recounts and some understanding of the men involved in them, I felt almost intimately connected to what was happening. Without doubt, I enjoyed the series and I also think I'm going to do some reading on the history of some of the battles and then go back and read the series again. Which, in my mind, makes the series quite successful!...... Are there some problems with the evolution of the story line? Probably. Does it end abruptly, and without some of the details all neatly resolved? Yes. But I think it's our job as the reader to determine what is important to come away with and WHY what we take away is important. It's not what you'd expect..... But isn't that a good thing? IMHO, it is!
