Crystals — N.D. Hansen-Hill

When Peter Trevick first noticed the Trees, he was drawn to them--his scientific curiosity aroused by their odd appearance. They were something to be studied, and defined. He was to find that some things are beyond definition. That definitions and explanations rely on the natural laws that surround you. Only, for Peter, the natural laws have changed. The previous battle was between science and myth. Now, in Crystals, the conflict goes on, with rules drawn from another dimension. This time, the outcome is a matter of life or death, and victory may hinge on something as insignificant as the shimmering facet of a crystal. The story continues.
