In September of the year 1800, two ships vanished without a trace. The USS Pickering, and the USS Insurgent. By all accounts and beliefs they were lost at sea during a brutal hurricane. But the truth is not so simple. They were stolen from our world, and thrust into the unkind seas of Miad'Ava. This is the tale of their arrival to Miad'Ava, their survival on the S'nke Isles archipelago, and their triumphs against the Haai Rijal pirate clan known as the Ruh Gunnav, and their ruthless Dread Lord. This is the first release in my Bermuda Triangle Tales series, but the third book chronologically. Stay tuned for more, as this story is a deep passion project of mine, and involves a lot of deep research as I expand it.
