Vanished!: Explorers Forever Lost

By Evan L. Balkan

Book Overview

True and harrowing accounts of adventurers who never came home

Some adventures end in glory, others in obituaries. Instead of receiving laurels and a parade, the adventurers in Vanished met infamy on a road with no return. Immerse yourself in these gripping accounts of explorers who ventured forth--then simply disappeared. Their fates? We'll never know. Vanished draws you into seven page-turning accounts, including one that contains new details of Amelia Earhart's unsolved disappearance over the vast Pacific. Head to Mexico with Ambrose Bierce, forever lost but not forgotten. Ride the wild Colorado with honeymooners Glen and Bessie Hyde, presumably drowned but whose bodies have never been found. Author Evan Balkan brings these stories to life, and death, in spine-tingling descriptions. Whether murder, sabotage, or just plain bad luck, these are true tales of adventure gone bad, of explorers vanished, forever lost.
