Book Reviews of Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery
Book Review: A truly astounding compilation
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading this book I can see why Quasar's research in another field has inspired a Congressional resolution. This is more than a book on missing ships and planes; it is a biography of the entire phenomenon, both the enigma, the reality of missing ships and planes and the often strange (though some mind-stretching) theories that many have put forward and that have become intimately linked with the topic.
Quasar has written as a biographer would. He never mentions himself nor ever uses the first person pronoun referring to himself. The subject is the Bermuda Triangle in all its reality, potential and mystique. Despite his own personal views, he does a commendable and objective job to present the evidence for such popular theories as Atlantis and UFOs. That may be one of the weak or strong points in the book, however you wish to view it: he is incredibly objective despite his own views. It is obvious, however, by the arrangment of the final chapters that he ends with those theories that temper the most far-fetched.
Into the Bermuda Triangle is really an absorbing read. When the only attacks that can be levied against a book can be found in amateur reviews on Amazon you know the author's work, especially on a fringe subject, really defends itself. But it really gripes me to see reviews such as one of them on here that is outright false. Quasar never refers to himself as an expert; his father had the lease on a county airfied and from 8 years old Quasar learned how to taxi small aircraft. He is very familiar with avionics. There is only a short reference to Larry Kusche's old book (anybody referencing a 35 year old book as definitive hasn't done any research); Quasar and Bruce Gernon are the only ones investigating the Bermuda Triangle; and since this book has been out for almost 6 years, one reviewer here clearly had not been waiting for it since his review is rather recent.
Quasar's website once had a cyber stalker, Bubba the Salty Dog, who claimed he investigated the Triangle and disproved it all. Quasar exposed his work as nothing but excerpts from Kusche's old book. Down went the debunking website quickly.
This is truly THE Bermuda Triangle book by the actual man who has spent near 20 years really investigating it. The rewards have shown for all to see in public and press honors.
Summary of Into the Bermuda Triangle: Pursuing the Truth Behind the World's Greatest Mystery
Still unsolved, still baffling, still claiming new victims. Here are the untold stories.
A pilot reports a strange haze enveloping his plane, then disappears; eleven hours after fuel starvation, as if calling from a void, he is heard 600 miles away. He requests permission to land, then vanishes forever. A freighter steaming over placid seas disappears without a trace. A pleasure yacht ghosts past without a soul on board. A pilot calls for help because a "weird object" is harassing his plane. A jet collides with an "unknown" and is never found. . . .
Into the Bermuda Triangle is the first comprehensive examination of these baffling disappearances in more than a generation. Drawing on official reports from the NTSB and other investigative agencies as well as interviews with scientists, theorists, and survivors, leading authority Gian Quasar not only sets the record straight on previously examined cases, he also offers a bulging file of new cases, the collective results of his twelve-year investigation. In meticulous detail this unflinching account:
- Documents confirmed disappearances of airplanes and ships
- Gathers new testimony and reexamines old interviews from eyewitnesses and survivors
- Explores possible explanations ranging from zero-point energy to magnetic vortices
- Challenges our assumptions with the sheer weight of accumulated evidence
In this age of technological and scientific discovery, there are still mysteries that transcend understanding. The Bermuda Triangle is one.
