Jae Raiden Series
This Soft/Sci-Fi series embraces a darker edge without skimping on humor and romance.
For readers from ages 13 on up.
Hell's Triangle
Imagine the trouble invoked by crossing paths with an extraterrestrial, AI tech, and yours truly, Jae Raiden—a Hell’s Triangle worth. My job as a network security investigator keeps me busy, my life too hectic for family or romance. Nonetheless, I agree to join family on an alien-themed cruise to explore the Bermuda Triangle. Big mistake.
The something weird looms on day one aboard the Dream Voyager. The ship’s artificial intelligence runs amuck after we stop at the center of the Bermuda Triangle. A frustrated captain recruits me to investigate their servers. Hacker, malware, corrupt systems, anything would be less hostile than the gatecrasher who manipulates me to do her bidding or perish.
Danger lurks behind every door. Can I save the ship and my family before it’s too late? Loss of life is not the end-all, yet existence without love is the loneliest of deaths. A sad epitaph.
HELL’S TRIANGLE is book one of the Jae Raiden Series. First Contact/Soft Sci-Fi hacked with bytes of artificial intelligence, one alien invader, and humor to thrill readers from ages 13 on up.

own demons. Why me? Before the end-all, can I save loved ones,
