In this third book of the Pirates of Marauda adventure trilogy, Terran, the ruthless captain of the spaceship Maraudor, is closer than ever to possessing the most coveted treasure in the Universe: the all-powerful Esseen Crystals. From within a UFO in the Bermuda Triangle, these cosmic jewels are casting an irresistible euphoria over all the peoples of the Earth-except for the greediest scoundrels. Realizing that Bob and his sons are the key to gaining entry to the UFO, the space pirate snatches them from their Paintball Jungle. But just as he gets his hands on the Crystals, Terran is hijacked by the robots of the Illuminosity, who take Bob captive along with the prize. Ultimately, the boys are faced with the decision to either rescue the Crystals for the sake of humanity or save their dad. They cannot do both. Cover art by Eli D'Elia.
