Thin Air

By George E. Simpson and Neal R. Burger

A missing US war ship. A military experiment gone horribly wrong. An edge-of-your-seat thriller based on the alleged Philadelphia Experiment.

It's a mystery that dates back to World War II--what happened to the USS Sturman and its crew. For Naval Investigator Nicholas Hammond, the search will challenge him…and the answers will, like bodies floating on the ocean, chill him.

It begins with a man waking, screaming. A series of memories have shaken him, "something to do with the Navy." For another man, his child-like drawings of men holding hands in frightened unity shatter his sanity. What both men share is fear.

Enter Hammond, cocksure and independent, assigned to find the link between these incidents and the disappearance of the Sturman. Was it a last act of war from a defeated enemy, or was it something more sinister…an experiment gone wrong from within?

Fast-paced, intricately plotted, THIN AIR is a thriller that defies time.

Reviews for Thin Air

[brucecoulson · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

A better than average thriller. USNI Nicholas Hammond gets an unusual case of a former naval enlisted who has terrible nightmares about his service on the USS Sturman. As the case unfolds, Hammond begins to uncover a plot involving a failed set of experiments on the ship...and the crew. But it becomes clear that highly-placed people have no interest in letting these secrets become known, and are prepared to take any steps necessary to protect themselves. And the real story is more fantastic than Hammond could possibly believe.There's a clever use of serendipity which makes the inevitable reveal a bit of surprise, but completely fair. Not a great book, but very enjoyable.
