To make matters worse, a freak storm blows the cruise ship through the Bermuda Triangle and the six travelers escape by lifeboat into the Amazon River--where they discover a shocking secret: Mermaids from another dimension, able to shed their scales and walk on land as the freakishly-tall Amazons of legend, have been living in the jungle for several decades.

Can the six adults set aside their differences and work together to escape before the Japanese soldiers kill them along with the Amazons, or will they need to figure out how to separate the two dimensions before the primitive Amazons decide to sacrifice them all?Complete
