The Crystalline Planet

Sam and Christopher grew up together on the Earthen Moon Colony. Their fathers were best friends, so their sons were constant companions. Now grown up, Christopher is sent to a newly discovered planet on a secret mission, but communication from Christopher is long overdue. In an act of desperation, Sam now travels to find his best friend. Sam's mission is to find Christopher, recover all information about this new planet, Crystal Cavern, and return. The only evidence he has is a scan chip with a recorded message from Christopher that speaks of the enigmatic, spiritual inhabitants of seaside dwellings. In this recording, Christopher claims these people might be the key to finding the material he seeks. When Sam meets the people of this planet, he begins uncovering secrets the planet is hiding but also the secrets of his own father. With Christopher having vanished without a trace, Sam must know what his best friend found. Is Christopher now safely part of this planetary tribe, or is there something much more devious and political at play?

“The Crystalline Planet is a charming exploration of a mysterious new planet that brings to life a quest to find a missing friend, the discovery of destiny, and a meditative journey that uncovers the meaning of enlightenment and your own essence.”

—Pacific Book Review

“Andresen skillfully creates an enchanting future world. Her elaborate descriptions of the landscapes use all five senses, successfully building an escape for readers. The quick-paced narrative is compelling.”
