The mysteries of the Bermuda Triangle and its long history of boat and plane disappearances intrigue British junior high-aged student Matt Stirling. He and his father, who is a university professor at the head of a department that specializes in the paranormal, are invited by "The Agency," a part of the US government, to help investigate the disappearance of a plane carrying three high-level security agents en route to a secret international conference. At sea with his father and a crew of Americans in a scruffy-looking but high-tech vessel, Matt has quite an adventure as he comes in contact with pirates and some authentic extraterrestrial beings.
Young YAs will thrill to the combination of SF and action-adventure. The book is not abridged, but listeners will wish the story were more fully developed. Well read by Taylor, a reader with sophisticated credits. Edna Boardman, Bismarck, ND
