Through The Triangle [Paperback]

Book Description

Publication Date: August 26, 2009

Mysterious places exist in this world, where the unexplained is more common than one would expect. There are areas where people, watercraft, and airplanes have vanished, as if they never existed. Three of these areas lie in and around Alaska, Japan, and Florida. The latter of these three is widely known as the Bermuda Triangle, or Devil's Triangle, in which ships, planes, and more than a thousand people on them have disappeared without a trace. These people have become statistics, but were actual living breathing people with families, friends, and acquaintances. Reflect for a moment on what these people experienced as they transitioned from being a normal person to a memory in the blink of an eye. Did they cease to exist? Theories abound on the reason for the disappearances, ranging from the natural -- weather and methane gas, to the more radical UFO abductions. About the Author: C. P. Stewart taught chemistry and physics in high school and occasionally at the university level. He is a lifelong resident of western Pennsylvania and has been captivated by these areas of mysterious disappearances, in particular the Bermuda Triangle. He is not alone, because fascination with the Bermuda Triangle has spawned legends, books, movies, songs, websites, plays, television specials, a mini-series, and even a magic trick by David Copperfield. Before writing Through the Triangle, which allows the reader to follow five individuals as they experience the Triangle’s capriciousness and consequences, he performed abundant research by studying writings of noted physicists on the topics of String (Membrane) Theory and the latest discoveries dealing with Spacetime. He also was particularly interested in written accounts of individuals who experienced close encounters within the Bermuda Triangle and survived. In one such confrontation, a pilot claims to have moved thirty minutes forward in time while in an encompassing fog, which he referred to as an electronic fog, or Timestorm.

5.0 out of 5 stars Looking for a sci-fi/thriller with a Bermuda Triangle concept?, October 26, 2009

This review is from: Through The Triangle (Paperback)

One of my favorite unexplained world mysteries is the "Bermuda Triangle". So when I read the back cover of this book I immediately placed it on the top of my "TBR" list.

The book begins at a rest stop where Allen Cranston has been murdered by Manny Contraldo. Manny who has just broke out of prison and is in a hurry to get out of the country to evade the police force, discovered that Allen was on his way to a deep sea fishing trip, the perfect escape and decided to pose as him. He soon realized though that he wouldn't be able to execute that plan, since there are four other people going on the fishing trip that was expecting a one Allen Cranston to join them. Mason Bankowski, Captain of the Oblique View. The father-son Jake and Nathan Meyers and Juan, Mason's assistant. So while Manny is hurriedly formulating plan b, they encountered a freak storm that was both quick and short lived. Then, strange things begin to happen.

On their quest for answers they are faced with frightening discoveries. They have actually entered the Devils Triangle and the storm they encountered has transported them 300+ years into the future where mutants - half-man/half animal exist. There, technologies are light years in advance, with genetically modified food, strange buildings and people who refer to themselves as Azul Ojos which means Blue Eyes.

The book was well written and the plot was thorough. The idea of those lost ships, planes and people transported into another dimension after entering the "Bermuda triangle" has always sparked my curiosity. So, for me, reading this book was totally awesome. Futuristic and Sci-Fi stories are not really my favorite genre but every once in a while I'll stumble onto something like this book that is worth recommending.

This review is from: Through The Triangle (Paperback)

Before I started reading this book I didn't have very high expectations. I figured it would be more of a "men's" book. I have to say I was VERY pleasantly surprised. The only thing I didn't like was when the book ended - I wanted more!

In Stewart's tale, planes and ships that disappear in the Bermuda Triangle end up many years in the future. The author's imaginative ideas about what had happened to the world in those years were very well developed. His characters and the dialog were interesting and drew you into the story. There is something for everyone here, including great descriptive scenes, a little romance, strange creatures, lots of action, and cliff hanger chapter endings. There was a twist towards the end that made me go, "Oh, no!" but the story finished well. I think this may be one of the best books I've read this year.

The future can be a scary thing, especially if you don't know what led to it. "Through the Triangle" is a novel following Jake and his son Nathan as they go on a Florida vacation. Their vacation soon takes a turn for the unusual after a voyage into the Devil's Triangle, they find themselves flung into the far future with little evidence of what happened between the present and then. "Through the Triangle" is an intriguing thriller, well worth considering.
