Bermuda Triangle
"Captain, man overboard!"
This alarming information from the officer of the deck makes no sense. USS Maryland, a Virginia-class submarine has been submerged for two months while executing a standard reconnaissance mission. So how could there be a man overboard?
Miles from land, Captain Hanlon of the USS Maryland surfaces within the coordinates of the Bermuda triangle in order to pick up this presumably dead man, lost at sea.
Only the man isn't dead.
Maryland is at the precise coordinates where the submarine USS Scorpion sank in 1968, with the loss of all her crew. At the time there were accusations of conspiracy and Soviet involvement. More recent evidence supported a "cataclysmic event" and possible torpedo malfunction. Naval investigation was inconclusive.
Captain Hanlon has no idea that he is going to discover the answer to the mystery of Scorpion's demise as well as the hidden truth about the Bermuda triangle.

My author friend, Susan Cartwright gave this story to me a while back to see what I thought. For some odd reason I didn't do a review. Maybe there wasn't a place here on GoodReads at the time? I don't know. I just saw it listed on my Shelfari. Yeah, I keep forgetting that site is there. So I thought I would try to make sure this review happened.
Okay, the writing was great. The overall story was interesting. My own biases get invovled here. I found it too man-heavy. I am not into military life and jargon, though the author did a wonderful job in her research. This is where my navy husband was able to verify that research.
I did like the ending, it felt rather like Twilight Zone or X-Files. You do not guess how it will end.
Oh, my other bias is short stories. I am not only a novel reader, I prefer LONG series. I love getting to know the characters in depth and learning about their worlds. So, unfortunately, this made me uncomfortable in telling my friend how I felt. Still, after all this time I remember the story, so I am going to raise my rate from three stars to four. :-)
