Crystal Treasure is indeed a treasure in itself. If you enjoy a good female lead and will let her take you aboard a spaceship meeting up with a lot of twists and turns... and ALIENS then you will not be disappointed.

The story is much deeper than all that and is laced with much darker sides of the Captain, Her Grandfather had been a Captain involved in a questionable disaster aboard his tug. He couldn't prove his innocence due to the missing box. Now it is up to his Granddaughter Celeste Crystal to redeem her Grandfather's honor by finding the black box while she is on other duties.

Captian Crystal is on her first command of Claudine and likened to Star Ship Enterprise the ship Claudine is the oldest ship yet is the one called in for action. Captain Celeste Crystal has other "treasure" motives but wages war upon the enemy using her very capable crew.

Science Fiction writer, Atk Butterfly has proven to be lead in his vision of a good space opera and this story CRYSTAL TREASURE is one of his many filled with lively characters, abounding in believable dialogue, and just enough action not to overtake the plot.

I highly recommend this book Crystal Treasure for any sci-fi buff or one that likes a great female lead.
