The Bermuda Triangle

Does the patch of stormy sea between the tip of Florida, Puerto Rico and Bermuda hide a dark and frightening secret?

Interviews

A new, fun approach to solving the mysteries of the ages, combining exciting and dramatic narrative with more traditional nonfiction.  Each book focuses on one mystery, and is divided into two distinct styles: 1) A nonfiction, dramatic, high-tension narrative that looks at individual sightings or encounters with the mystery. And 2), A more traditional looking nonfiction science approach that aims to explain and disprove or validate the narratives using the Scientific Method. *Very high-interest subjects.
