Vanished (J. D. Stanton Mystery Series #2)
A year after the events in A Ship Possessed, Captain J.D. Stanton, U.S. Navy, retired, investigates the disappearance of the citizens of Roanoke II, a top-secret research facility buried in the heart of the California desert. Cars have been left with doors open and keys in the ignition and full grocery carts stand in supermarket aisles. Stanton--a man comfortable with his strong belief in God--and his team find no immediate explanation for the disappearances. They do find a lone dog and an almost catatonic boy who witnessed the strange disturbances leading to the vanishings. The deeper the team delves into the mystery, the more questions they uncover, as a covert team moves in to make sure no one discovers the truth or leaves alive. A hotshot FBI agent throwing his weight around provides a jarring note in an otherwise enjoyable supernatural thriller suitable for collections that have the first book.Copyright 2000 Reed Business Information, Inc.
