91,000 words. Photographs. Illustrations.

ON JANUARY 9 2003 the Australian naval vessel HMAS Stuart came upon a 150-tonne fishing vessel, High Aim 6, drifting, deserted in the Indian Ocean.

The captain's reading glasses lay in the wheelhouse. Dry toothbrushes dangled from a rack. In lockers, clothes lay neatly folded. Nothing had been stolen - and there was no sign of struggle. And yet the captain and his 10 crewmen had vanished without trace. After fruitlessly combing the craft for clues, the searchers nicknamed her 'Mary Celeste.' It was a black joke, but apt. Despite massive sea and air searches, the captain and his men were never found.

The original Mary Celeste had sparked international puzzlement in 1872, when she was similarly discovered adrift, with nobody aboard. According to contemporary newspapers and official reports, the mystery was a one-off, of a kind that had never occurred before.

That assumption was wrong. As any painstaking researcher can confirm, Mary Celeste and High Aim 6 are PARTS OF A PATTERN WHICH HAS REPEATED ITSELF ACROSS THE CENTURIES. A pattern of ships stripped of all human life - a syndrome whose meaning defies our understanding.

Acclaimed author and journalist John Pinkney has devoted his career to investigating such profound enigmas as the Mary Celeste Syndrome.. And a host of comparably baffling cases can be found in this unique book:

*The Dead Sailor whose face haunts a Royal Navy photograph. *The widely-published novel that foretold in astonishing detail the doom of Princess Diana - 19 years before she died in a Paris autombile smash. * Hell from within: modern victims of SHC (Spontaneous Human Combustion) - and the eerie coincidences that link their lives. * The American forest search for Jewels from Jupiter. * UFO nightmare in a rural garden. The triangular craft that brought illness and death.

And many more groundbreaking reports of the strange and unknown..
