The Seven Crystal Balls by Hergé
4.0
Another part one of a two-parter.
The ball lightning was an interesting red herring, but I'm not sure I liked it. The misdirection and the pseudo-science turning out to be mostly all explained was excellent, and even though we end off with a clear continuation to [b:Prisoners of the Sun|96428|Prisoners of the Sun (Tintin, #14)|Hergé|https://d.gr-assets.com/books/1337625924s/96428.jpg|185697], I still felt satisfied in the story portion we got in this first volume.
