| dragon triangle stories: Chasing the Dragon Christopher R. Cox, 2014-05-13 Chasing the Dragon is the story of a Boston Herald reporter's journey into Burma/Myanmar to interview the mysterious drug lord, Khun Sa. The features desk of an American newspaper may seem an unlikely launchpad for a journey into one of the world's most remote and dangerous regions, but for journalist Christopher Cox, it was where the story began. It would end nearly three years later in the almost inaccessible mountain fastnesses of Shan State, Burma, as Cox brought off a journalistic coup even hard-bitten foreign correspondents might envy: a rare personal audience with General Khun Sa, the man U.S. law enforcement dubbed The Prince of Death, the man thought to control a third of the world's supply of heroin. Accompanied by an obsessed Vietnam vet who had given up everything in his single-minded search for American POWs left behind in Southeast Asia and an eccentric expat with close personal ties to the general, Cox was going to cross forbidden borders to enter a region long off-limits to Westerners. And armed with little more than a backpack stuffed with vodka, porno tapes, and cigarettes, he was going to succeed. His journey would take him deep into the Golden Triangle, a shadowy zone of banditry, drug smuggling, and the ghost armies of past wars. He would begin in the red-light district of Bangkok, with its sex bars and soaring HIV rates, then head up into northern borderlands newly discovers by package-tour groups, and finally cross a jungled no-man's-land into the world of the Shan, where tough tribesmen trade opium and precious gemstones for the arms they need to fight the Burmese. |

| dragon triangle stories: Beyond the Bermuda Triangle Bruce Gernon, Rob MacGregor, 2017 I didn't believe in time travel or teleportation until it happened to me. I'm Bruce Gernon, and I flew through the heart of the Bermuda Triangle before I'd even heard the term. Skeptics have dismissed the Triangle as a nonmystery, but they weren't in my airplane when the fog surrounded my craft and I leaped ahead 100 miles. I documented what happened and memorized every detail of that flight. Now I'm ready to explain that there is no Bermuda Triangle! Instead, there is a continuing mystery that has resulted in thousands of disappearances of crafts and loss of life over decades and centuries: a phenomenon I call electronic fog. In Beyond the Bermuda Triangle, Rob MacGregor and I present multiple cases of pilots and others who have experienced electronic fog in the air, in the water, and on land.

The Dragon's Triangle. The Underwater Area 51. The man who is building a warp drive. A remote viewer who takes on the Triangle. |

| dragon triangle stories: Nine Stephen Gildust, 2025-05-13 The whispers of the unknown have echoed through history, long before the term UFO entered our lexicon. Even Christopher Columbus, a figure synonymous with exploration and discovery, recorded strange sightings in his journals during his voyages across the Atlantic. In his account of the first voyage to the New World, dated October 11, 1492, he describes a brilliant light appearing over the water. This luminous spectacle defies easy explanation and prefigures centuries of similar reports. The stories we tell about the mysteries of the world serve as a collective expression of our anxieties, our hopes, and our deepest desires. They reflect our capacity for both wonder and fear, our yearning for the extraordinary, and our ongoing struggle to comprehend the vastness of the universe. The tales of ships vanishing without a trace in the Bermuda Triangle, of inexplicable lights in the sky over the Skinwalker Ranch, and of strange creatures roaming the wilds of the Bridgewater Triangle all contribute to a powerful narrative, a tapestry woven from mystery, speculation, and the eternal human quest for answers. The nine locations are the Bermuda Triangle, Dragons Triangle, Alaska Triangle, Michigan Triangle, Bennington Triangle, Bridgewater Triangle, San Luis Valley, Skinwalker Ranch, and the South Atlantic Anomaly represent a global tapestry of mystery. Each location boasts its own unique set of unexplained phenomena, ranging from disappearances of vessels and aircraft to reports of strange lights, paranormal activity, and encounters with creatures unknown to science. These are places where the ordinary yields to the extraordinary, where the limits of our understanding are tested and challenged. |
| dragon triangle stories: Flesh and Blood So Cheap: The Triangle Fire and Its Legacy Albert Marrin, 2015-02-10 On March 25, 1911, the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory in New York City burst into flames. The factory was crowded. The doors were locked to ensure workers stay inside. One hundred forty-six people—mostly women—perished; it was one of the most lethal workplace fires in American history until September 11, 2001. But the story of the fire is not the story of one accidental moment in time. It is a story of immigration and hard work to make it in a new country, as Italians and Jews and others traveled to America to find a better life. It is the story of poor working conditions and greedy bosses, as garment workers discovered the endless sacrifices required to make ends meet. It is the story of unimaginable, but avoidable, disaster. And it the story of the unquenchable pride and activism of fearless immigrants and women who stood up to business, got America on their side, and finally changed working conditions for our entire nation, initiating radical new laws we take for granted today. With Flesh and Blood So Cheap, Albert Marrin has crafted a gripping, nuanced, and poignant account of one of America's defining tragedies. |

| dragon triangle stories: Sadie's Secret Barbara D. Hall, Jon C. Hall, 2007-12-26 This book is the fictional story of one mans journey from agnostic concerning unusual phenomena into the realm of belief in the existence of the Big Foot in the swamps of West Florida. Inspired by the natural beauty of present day Myakka River State Park, not far from Sarasota, Florida, the story deals with human vulnerability to belief and how our natural propensity to adopt beliefs without scientific proof of their validity can be manipulated and used by others for their own purposes. The story is mostly seen through the eyes of Mike Byrne, a member of the local Palmetto County Historical Society, as he volunteers to interview the oldest known citizen of the county, Sadie Sutton. He gradually becomes convinced there is more to her distant past than what she is willing to disclose for the society records. He becomes open to the ideas of the speaker at a presentation sponsored by the local Almas Association where his suspicions quickly evolve into the belief that Sadie carries the blood of the DeBosi in her veins. As he struggles with his desire to prove his belief is true, Mike is drawn into the carefully structured snare of those who seek to use his belief for their own purposes. In this story, the end justifies the means in the name of a noble cause, and the swamp where Sadie has lived all her life is preserved. However, there is concern that belief, once encouraged and nurtured, may put in motion forces that will destroy the objectives of those who seek to take advantage of others. Jon C. Hall |

| dragon triangle stories: Dragon Kindred and the Worshipers of Gyr Marshall Drews, 2022-05-04 Humans, beasts, and dragons. Some might claim there was little difference in nature between the three, with rule and order being the fine line between tranquility and peace, as opposed to mindless viciousness with a thirst for pure, unadulterated destruction. Many advocates against this cynical mentality would argue, rather counterproductively, that it was the same order and rule, with a healthy mix of morals, that led men to hold fast to what was right in a way beasts and kindreds alike were incapable of. These beasts or monsters written in legend were often observed to be mindless in nature and destructive by law. No sympathy lingered behind their piercing gazes; neither did intelligence nor base desire. Dragons and scaled kindreds alike were said to hold much the same virtues, but one could not simply say they lacked conviction or desire. Within them lay greed for things others might perceive to be useless. Like a newborn duckling imprinting on some large protective-looking object, a dragon would instill value on anything that caught their eye in so much that they would defend it until death. Within this land, there existed such a dragon--one posing as a nuisance and a menace to those around. In the dark hours of the night, a band of men were brought together by the same strong morals, rules, and order to seek out that which caused destruction and unrest, however minor it might have been. |

| dragon triangle stories: Dragon Lady Sterling Seagrave, Peggy Seagrave, 1992 The last empress of China--Dowager Empress Tzu Hsi (1835-1908)--is remembered as one of history's monsters, an iron-willed concubine who, after usurping power in 1861, ruled from the Dragon Throne for half a century. Her reign, in the aftermath of the Opium Wars and through the Boxer Rebellion until the collapse of the 2,000-year-old empire, has traditionally been seen as one of murder, poison, and intrigue. But the wicked image is false. In 1974, to the dismay of scholars, Sir Edmund Backhouse--the biographer most responsible for the widespread vision of Tzu Hsi as monster--was revealed to be a con man. And now the author of the celebrated best-seller The Soong Dynasty has undertaken the first complete reappraisal of the empress--exposing Backhouse's writings about her as a major hoax and forgery, and establishing that the most important Western correspondent in Peking during her reign--Dr. George Morrison of the London Times--kept a secret diary contradicting his own dispatches about Tzu Hsi. Drawing on many unpublished or long-overlooked contemporary sources, Sterling Seagrave shows us Tzu Hsi as a complex woman whose desperate--though often misguided--efforts to hold her country together take on a different coloration in the context of unrelenting foreign attempts to colonize and tear it apart. Far from being all-powerful, she was actually a hostage of vengeful Manchu princes who were using her in a power struggle against both Chinese reformers and foreign interference. Here at last is an authentic portrait of this fascinating historical figure, as well as insight into the Western craving to believe in a sinister, dragon-haunted Orient. Dragon Lady is at once a compelling biography and the equally compelling story of how a myth was contrived, how it endured, and how, ultimately, the truth has emerged.--BOOK JACKET.Title Summary field provided by Blackwell North America, Inc.
