About this ebook

"Do-overs" are possible.

Elle was just a normal teenager enjoying her summer vacation when everything changes. After an emergency planetwide 'reset' on her homeworld, she instead awakens on a spaceship and is told that the fate of known civilization is in her hands.

A mysterious Darkness has infected the crystalline network connecting the settled works. The unique properties of the crystals allow reality to be 'reset' to past moments in time, granting second chances. However, the Darkness isn't only threatening the reset process—it's consuming entire planets.

Paired with a diverse team of magically enhanced companions, Elle embarks on an interstellar quest to protect the Hegemony by sealing the Master Archive, the backup for the crystalline network. With only vague clues to guide them, Elle and her new friends must track down ancient relics and unravel hidden secrets before their worlds and loved are lost in shadow forever.

Ratings and reviews

Crystalline Space is a very cool blend of fantasy and sci-fi. It reminds me of all the things I love about RPG video games. The characters are familiar archetypes found in classic games, but there are some unique spins. While not technically gamelit, the “reset” mechanic gives that kind of feel, standing in for save points. That said, even non-gamers would like this series. The plot of this book was a fairly straightforward introduction to the story universe. Since there are some complex concepts related to the crystalline network, I appreciated a simpler story as an introduction to the characters. Elle was a strong lead, and I liked her companions. The group members complement each other and made for fun interactions. The book comes across as space fantasy, but there are hints that there is a scientific basis for the “magic”. I’m excited to read the sequel and find out more about the crystalline network and Darkness.

Loved how even though the characters became more powerful, they still used common sense and dialog. The character interactions felt real and they realized their limitations. Well done. I have found me a new set of works.

a good and fun read, reminds me of the fantastic four, zelda, and the hobbit, the characters are what you would expect according to their lives before being Downloaded into new bodies, a blend of games and movies into this story are evident, a superb adventure that the author s writing makes you stay up late to keep turning the pages, well done
