Crusade - 21

Crusade, Book 4 of The Turner Chronicles

Defying, well, everybody, Amanda enters the cave, drawing Aaron's anger. However, she brought a bunch of interesting rocks out with her, one's very important to Chin, and the world. These rocks are not Talent Stones, exactly. Instead, they interact with male Talent in a strange way. Too much can kill them, but a little provides a miracle in this male starved world. It provides men with the chance to create healthy male children...but it takes a bit to get there. The cave is raided by just about every female. Amanda is sent home, shaking her head because Aaron has not met somebody she thought he should have by now. Aaron has a chat with Chet and Bret about thier mother.
