Reading it is like making the long, exciting, slow climb up a roller coaster -- you want to cover your eyes, but you just can't. The author is obviously passionate about his research, and his findings go far beyond any other book on this subject. I'll be flying through the Bermuda Triangle in April, 2004, and now am armed with many landmarks, curiosities, etc., to look for from my (hopefully) safe vantage point! Highly recommended!

Review: It's a relief to find real mysteries anymore, especially those that are well researched. Usually one finds boring rehashes of by-now overplayed old incidents of the sea or outright old legends. But to find hundreds of new ones, as are in this book, is astounding! The Bibliography must be a chapter long, loaded with official citation of report after report. What Quasar has done is a remarkable bit of investigative reporting in a genre (the unexplained) where it is often sadly lacking. The author does not elaborate with any theoretical guesswork. Each case remains factual and straightforward --like planes simply disappearing while being viewed from airport towers. The incidents are cited with NTSB reports and the names (from the reports) of the actual eyewitnesses that Quasar later went and talked to. Facts really force one to accept that no stone must remain unturned in a search for an answer. The search for an answer that follows can (and does) challenge your interest as much (if not more) than Graham Hancock or von Daniken can, with a little bit of the scientific edge one might find in Stephan Hawkings (but with far more groundbreaking concepts on cataclysm) except that Quasar remains far more neutral (commendably so). The links that Quasar uncovered (albeit relunctantly) between something as controversial as Edgar Cayce's "readings" of an advanced prehistoric civilization and a famous explorer of South America's discovery of prehistoric ruins (before Cayce's time), then to discoveries in the Triangle, are enough to justify research into what causes "psychic abilities." The book is made up of what I really like, pure and simple: a "foot on the ground" approach to subjects that are often dismissed as taboo. Quasar uncovers real mystery and leaves one to contemplate exciting possibilities. This is not a rehash of some old ideas on the subject. Nor is it tabloid (which I was worried it might be). One may take issue with some of the theories, but after reading this book no one will deny the existence of the Bermuda Triangle. I would definitely recommend this book to anybody who wants (needs) to be reawakened about what can really happen on this planet. I'm glad to hear that this is the first in a trilogy that will explore every aspect of a subject that has too long been sleeping . . .or has it been us who were asleep? We need to awake, and this book looks like it may be the first serious call to do so.
Rating: ![3 stars](http://www.reviewfocus.com/images/stars-3-0.gif) Summary: Thought Provoking Review: This is a very thought provoking book about the Bermuda Triangle. The author explores and offers theories for the strange happenings and disappearances in this area from a pre-historical very advanced race that was wiped out by a natural disaster leaving behind buried sources of power effecting crafts in this and other areas of the world, inter-terrestrial aliens, strange energy sources that we do not yet understand, and time-space warps. He approaches these fantastic theories from a very scientific and believable viewpoint. It's up for the reader to decide what to believe.
The drawback to this book is the first few chapters become an almost mind numbing recitation of disappearances in the Bermuda Triangle. At times the writing style is rather dry as well so frankly the book is a little boring at times. But some of the topics covered do indeed broaden one's thinking about the world in general and this topic in particular.
