Summary
 A gripping survivalist thriller from the author of The Chilling about researchers marooned on a remote island in the Bass Strait while searching for the wreckage of a plane that disappeared under mysterious circumstances twenty years earlier.


In September 1977, a young pilot named Donovan 'Van' Spector vanishes over Bass Strait after a chilling radio transmission: 'A large aircraft seems to be flying above me … it's colossal ... it's soaring down.' Then - silence.

Twenty years later, a rumour surfaces that Spector's plane wreck has been sighted on a remote island in the notorious 'Bermuda Triangle of the South'. A group of researchers sets sail to uncover the truth. On board are Teo Young, an ambitious PhD student chasing a lead, and Hannah Buttery, a UFO enthusiast with an agenda of her own.


After a storm leaves them stranded on the island, with the rest of their party missing, Teo and Hannah are left facing a terrifying reality. Their lives are in danger. No one is coming to their rescue. And a sinister presence is lurking in the shadows ...©2026 Riley James (P)2026 W. F.

Couldn't wait to hear Riley James' second novel and it didn't disappoint. Finished it in a day! Love how it wove thriller, mystery and historical elements together, so well written. James is a brilliant story teller and the narrators gave it a genuine Australian voice. Love, love, loved it!

Brilliant, heart stopping thriller!
