Have your own - Extra Terrestrial Adventure

[stevendoig]

My latest Charity shop bargain - 50p!

This slim (86 pages (not references)) paperback is written by Douglas Hill. Its written in the 1st person past tense. The star of the story is a bounty hunter called Del Curb. Each reference is 2 or three pages long.  I'm no great genius but this is well written stuff ,a kind of '30's detective story in space with a big splash of Blakes 7.  It was a nice wee read, however, I found the successful route first time (only 5 decisions ) Worth a few more tries though to see some of the other planets/encounters.

Anyone else read this? Were there others ?

Did a bit of digging online and it appears to be a one off , which Is curious in itself... I can only guess the sales were very poor...

There's more than one successful route.

In fact, it's impossible to fail. You just get to experience different successful adventures by making different decisions.
