Hampton author Mike Dunbar has published the fourth book in the "Castleton Series," a time traveling, adventure saga for teens and adults. The series takes place in Hampton, Durham, and other New Hampshire locations in the past, present, and future.

"The Triangle" begins in 1945 as two World War II Navy aviators fly toward Bermuda to rescue ill-fated Flight 19. Their plane also disappears. The flyers are declared dead, only to pop up in in Morocco 1,000 years before they were born. Their ordeal was so bizarre the war-hardened aviators have suffered mental breakdowns.

Discovered by a crew from the UNH Time Institute and brought to the future seven generations from now, the two aviators present unresolvable conundrum. Their families went on living without them. They can’t be returned to their own time without setting off Chaos, a horrifying phenomenon that occurs when the past is changed. The Institute can’t keep them in the future. Due to a phenomenon called the Experience of Time, they will never age.

Three high school freshmen from present-day Hampton, living a double life as a Time Institute crew, are enlisted to help. Retracing the aviators’ flight the boys and their friends from the future find themselves trapped between dimensions in a place beyond human understanding. To make matters worse, the place is full of people, long-lost and long thought dead, doomed to wander for eternity.
