Kevin Richards Opens for Father the Honorable Bob Richards’ Book Signing Event Hosted in Bermuda
The historical thriller spans California, to London, to Moscow and lifts the veil on the island’s role in NATO’s anti-submarine strategy. Local readers will delight to discover more about Bermuda during these turbulent times as the most important and secret early warning post for the United States.
A spokesperson said, “Introduced by his son, Kevin, the author spoke to the almost 100 attendees about Bermuda’s support of the US Navy in the lead-up to the Cuban Missile Crisis and its SOFAR station. He spoke about weaving together fact and fiction in an effort to both entertain and educate about Bermuda’s role in recent history. Later, Bob Richards and his son, Victor, read well-received excerpts from the new novel.
“Limited numbers of the book and the first in the series, Triangle of Treason, are available to buy at the Bermuda Book Store now. Richards’ third installment in the trilogy, revolving around the island’s part in the 1969 moon landing, is underway.”
Richards’ fiction debut, Triangle of Treason, about Bermudians during the Second World War, was released in 2021 to positive reviews. Richards has also previously published a non-fiction book on Bermuda’s economics, Bermuda Back From the Brink.
Bob Richards said, “I am very pleased to be launching Triangle of Blood, second in the Triangle of Treason trilogy. I was inspired to write these novels to showcase Bermuda’s incredibly rich but relatively unknown history – as well as to entertain!”
“I hope that Bermudians pick up a copy of this latest novel, which explores the island’s involvement in the Cold War, during the ’50s and ’60s.
They’ll discover a thrilling story about the development of a technology called SOFAR, used to passively detect and track submerged Russian submarines, and get swept up in a tale about a local family during those turbulent times.”
Both installments of the Triangle of Treason series are now available for purchase online on Amazon.
