In “The Crystal Crypt”, Earth and Mars are poised on the verge of war. Over the last spaceship to leave Mars for Earth, law enforcement officials are looking for three fugitives who in some way made a great Martian city disappear. Unable to find the perpetrators, the officials permit the ship to disembark for Earth. A businessman named Thacher attacks up a conversation with a woman and two males who reveal a very interesting magic formula to him about the strange case.
