Portal of Chaos by Simon Tudhope

This magically illustrated gamebook plunges you into a story with a difference - one where the hero is YOU.

Not that you have any interest in being a hero. You're a bounty hunter, and in your line of work heroes don't last long. But now you've been given a mission you can't refuse. Make it out alive, and you'll never need to work again. Fail, and, well... you'll never need to work again.

And so, staring up at the stars from the cockpit of your spacecraft, you blast off on an epic adventure where every choice is yours, and your survival depends upon the decisions you make. Who to fight? Who to trust? In a book where nothing is as it seems, you find yourself drawn into a tale of ancient secrets and deadly betrayal. And you soon realise it's not just your fate hanging in the balance. No, it turns out the universe needs a hero. And like it or not, that hero is you!

Bringing together a thrilling story, beautifully illustrated picture puzzles and an exciting combat system, this is an adventure that will have you gripped from beginning to end.
