Last round rebel planet was eliminated, which lasted longer than any other sci-fi book, making it the most popular of that genre. Judging from previous results, this round is probably a formality but we'll see.

Dammit, Sword Of The Samurai is like a bloody cockroach! You just can't kill it off! If I didn't hate it before this contest (and I didn't - there's no weak links in 11-20), I bloody do now! How on Khul did it outlive classics like Temple Of Terror, Seas Of Blood, Rebel Planet, and especially Appointment With FEAR?

I replayed Sword of the Samurai a couple of weeks ago to refresh my memory for the poll. I was impressed by the book's Honour system and how it influenced my decision-making, at least in the early going. It still ranks below Seas of Blood and Appointment with FEAR (and Talisman) for me. However, I also replayed Demons of the Deep around the same time, and I liked Sword better. DotD has been getting my votes ever since.

As Demons of the Deep is my favourite out of these three, it's between Talisman and Sword:
Both are well written with some decent storylines, good encounters and unfortunately poor endings. While Talisman has a better story, I think having the two routes through makes Samurai a better gamebook.
