Vanished is a sort of supernatural thriller. It opens with a compelling science-fiction-esque scene — a woman vanishes in front of her husband’s eyes — and then widens into a larger tale by threading together a number of disparate stories.

The tale involves dolphin intelligence, interspecies communication, teleportation, the Philadelphia experiment (!), and ties them all up with believable science. It’s a great, compelling read.

In my opinion the story disintegrates toward the end. I don’t fault MacGregor for this — the ending is viable, but not very satisfying. I still recommend the book for anyone with an interest in wildlife (especially dolphins) or the paranormal.
