Plot Summary: You volunteer to go into suspended animation for a thousand
years. When you awaken in the year 3000, you find that the entire solar
system is under the control of an evil tyrant named Styx Mori.
My Thoughts: This is quite a challenging gamebook; there is only one way
to defeat Styx Mori, and it takes quite some time to find it. While this
book isn't really that much longer than the regular
Choose Your Own Adventure books, it is worthy
of the "Super Adventure" title.
2. Danger Zones
Author: R. A. Montgomery
Illustrators: Keith Parkinson (cover), Leslie Morrill (interior)
First Published: December, 1987
ISBN: 0-553-26791-4
Length: 162 pages
Number of Endings: 29
Plot Summary: Your three older brothers are adventurers. On your thirteenth
birthday, each of them offers to take you on an adventure. You can go to
Hong Kong to search for two missing Americans, you can search for a lost
caravan in the Takla Makan Desert, or you can attempt to find valuable
missing documents in the Himalayas.
My Thoughts: Of the two books in this series, this is by far the weaker.
In addition to being a less interesting challenge than the first book, this
is occasionally incoherent and often rather dull.
