Product Description

From Library Journal

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.

From Kirkus Reviews

When 1,500 inhabitants of a secret military installation vanish into thin air, does it take a miracle to get them back? Well, yes. One minute the place is brimming with scientists, engineers, military personnel and their families, and then poof! They're all gone, leaving behind half-eaten dinners, cars in the process of having tanks filled, cribs poignantly emptied of babies. Virtually the entire population of Roanoke II has disappeared except for a terrified little boyrendered speechless by whatever it was he experiencedhis dog, and a wandering wild creature named Josie. The S.O.S. from Admiral Kaster reaches Captain H.D. Stanton as he's about to bite into a Thanksgiving Day turkey. Stanton, though officially retired, has been tapped because of a track record in disaster retrieval established in A Ship Possessed (not reviewed). The captain, evidently available for the occasional Mission Impossible, hops a waiting helicopter for the depopulated installation. Not everyone, however, is happy with Admiral Kaster's choice. Among the disenchanted is the president, who would have preferred less proficiency and more political correctness. Consumed with retaining power, he'd rather the scientists and others remain missing than have to divulge what they've been up toexperiments both mysterious and dangerous, dealing with spatial dimensions that transcend the customary three. This in-house schism ends with good guys gulled into going after other good guys, leading in turn high-tech firefights and body bags in profusion. At length the better good guys prevail, and the community is recovered, a denouement requiring supernaturalperhaps even divineintervention. Gansky, a clergyman, makes an earnest effort here at a kind of metaphysical thriller, but there's no nuance to his characters, no polish to his prose, and, unhappily, no suspension of critical disbelief. -- Copyright ©1999, Kirkus Associates, LP.

First Sentence
The thunderous thumping of the fifty-three-foot main rotor reverberated through the fuselage of the SH-60B Seahawk helicopter and deep into J.D. Stanton's bones. Read the first page

5.0 out of 5 stars Gansky strikes again..., Dec 24 2001
By 
Shane Hendrickson (Indianapolis, IN United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: JD Stanton Myst #2 Vanished (Paperback)
As usual, Alton Gansky delivers an incredible story that will make you wish he'd write a third book in all his series.
Stanton is called upon once again to investigate a truly puzzling case that turns out to be the biggest sci-fi/supernatural thriller of his life.
When you finally realize what's going on, it'll strike you how much it makes complete sense. Maybe aliens are a little closer to home than we think?
An incredible read with an incredible twist.
