Description

In 1974, the young world traveler Blake Right finds a classified document that indicates The Triangle, as he suspects it is called, is an insidious organization capable of universal domination. Unsure that Blake actually saw and destroyed the missing document, The Triangle nevertheless sends agents to threaten him with dire reprisals if he reveals any of the confidential information. While in Hong Kong in 1982, the educated and perceptive Dr. Blake Right, doctor of philology, learns that The Triangle is somehow connected with the area of the Sahara that historically has been controlled by the legendary city Timbuktu. He begins to suspect that The Triangular Void near Timbuktu, the Bermuda Triangle of Africa, contains part of The Triangle's power base. Blake's daltonism, colorblindness, coupled with his enormous intelligence enable him to continue his cautious investigation of The Triangle. The unsuspecting Dr. Right is hired by The Triangle to live in designated countries, investigate their literature and history, and show how those elements relate to the languages the people use. In doing so, Blake reveals to The Triangle how those people think and feel. Rather than using this information to benefit the people, The Triangle uses it to further dominate them and expand its realm—complicity was not Blake's intention. The Triangle also successfully hires Blake as a courier of confidential information, in an attempt to corrupt him. The scrupulous Blake, in the hope that he can modify The Triangle's evil control, discovers that the first non-African explorer to reach Timbuktu may have passed through The Triangular Void on his way from Tripoli to Timbuktu between July 1825 and September 1826. Alexander Gordon Laing, the Scottish James Bond of yesteryear, kept a journal of his Saharan journey to Timbuktu and what he found there. Unfortunately, Laing was beheaded on the second day of his journey back to England. Laing's missing journal almost brought about a break in diplomatic relations between England and France, in that the French consul in Tripoli was suspected of engineering Laing's death. The consul's subsequent plagiarizing of information that Laing's journal was thought to contain, forced him to make a suspicious departure from Tripoli. If Blake is able to survive, he is convinced that finding The Laing Journal will enable him to obtain the leverage he needs to negotiate with The Triangle and provide an optimistic future for the human race.
