Triangulum

Spanning over 40 years of South Africa’s past, present, and near future, Masande Ntshanga’s Triangulum is an ambitious, genre-bending literary mystery. In 2040, the South African National Space Agency receives a cryptic package containing a memoir and digital recordings from an anonymous woman claiming the world will end in a decade. As investigator Dr. Naomi Buthelezi examines the files, a captivating found-manuscript unfolds: beginning in the 1990s, a 17-year-old girl becomes obsessed with a mysterious "machine" that she believes caused her mother’s disappearance. When three local girls vanish on the same day, she and her friends follow a trail of UFO lore from underground labs to dense forests to uncover the truth. Breathtaking and inventive, Triangulum merges sci-fi and historical fiction into a visionary masterpiece.
