Book Review: The Amazing Crystal by Gerald Lizee

About:
In the summer of 2025, Lydia’s grandfather sent her a strange diamond pendant admonishing her to handle it with utmost care. From the moment that she receives the small package, her life changes. She becomes engulfed in a series of life-threatening events that lead her to realize the incredible properties of the pendant. Slowly she learns that the diamond contains an alien intelligence able to communicate directly with the human brain. Rumors of its powers spread, the Mafia designs a Machiavellian plot to seize the extraterrestrial gem, whose value is estimated at $ 100 billion. An unprecedented confrontation occurs between mercenaries hired by the Mafia and American security services. As rumors continue to grow, the American authorities are forced to release stunning revelations about the life and mission of the alien genius to the peoples and nations of the world. The news throws the scientific world into turmoil. Economic and political ideologies are brought into question and religious beliefs are shaken. But the Mafia wants to have the last say: confrontation is inevitable. 

This science fiction novel addresses questions relevant to a growing number of readers. Recent discoveries in astrophysics suggest that there is a large number of exoplanets likely to contain liquid water and a breathable atmosphere able to contribute to the emergence of life. If aliens exist, are they scientifically and technologically ahead of Earth by thousands, millions or even billions of years? If so, have they already colonized or visited Earth? How could they overcome intergalactic distances given the limitations inherent in the barrier provided by the speed of light? Is it possible that aliens have been present on earth for billions of years? If so, what form would they take? Can they communicate with us? If the answers to these questions are positive, how would humans react when informed of these facts via a large television news chain? What would your own answers be after reading "The Amazing Crystal"?

Our Thoughts:
Fast paced, conspiracy theorists abound! The Amazing Crystal will have you going until the very end. Danger at every turn, Lydia must make a decision that will affect human kind forever! Does she make the right choice? 

A quick read, you're enveloped from the very get go in this science mystery! There is a lot of science jargon, if you can get through that you will sail through the book. I couldn't put it down, as I love books that twist and turn! You just never know where you're going to end up! And that is SO true with this book. 

An alien device that speaks directly to you by using your brain? For anyone that would be a challenge, but then you throw in all the government forces, and other bad guys that want the crystal for their own agendas and you are on the run, literally! Hiding out, trying to figure out what to do, and why you were given such a responsibility to begin with! 

Doing the right thing is difficult, but can Lydia make the best decision for not just her, but the whole world? Find out when you read The Amazing Crystal.
