Item - Portal of Chaos

After some normal fantasy books, Usborne have now published a science fiction gamebook. You are a cyborg living in the solar system. Earth's a post-apocalyptic wasteland, even if London residents still wear bowler hats.

Like the other Usborne books, the main feature is the puzzles. Some of them need original thinking, like partially closing the book! Another asks you to remember what happened on your adventure and what was just background info. Yet another uses clever wordplay. The best one though is telling you not to solve the puzzle because it's a trap!

Everything else is rather conventional, but still unpredictable. It's worth trying out.
