There’s a disaster at CERN in Switzerland and two men are absorbed by a black hole. Moments later time stops everywhere in the Universe except near fragments of mysterious blue crystal. Each one is surrounded by a bubble of time. Hold a crystal and you’re alive. Without it you’re frozen in time.

Fourteen-year-old Catriona O’Brien is visiting CERN when the disaster happens. She is given a crystal and hears one of the two absorbed men saying that if she can collect all the crystal fragments and bring them down something called the ‘Time Tunnel’ then he can restart time.

But there are other things, mysterious and dangerous things, coming up the Time Tunnel, things which want to use the people of Earth for their own evil purposes.

So begins an adventure that will take Catriona back through the history of the Universe to the Big Bang and beyond! Time Crystal, the greatest adventure in the history of the Universe, written and read by British author Wyken Seagrave.
