About this book

This interactive pick-your-own-path book puts the reader at the heart of the action.

You are a brilliant young geologist on your first ever mission to collect rock samples from the distant moon Titan. Along with eight fellow crew members, you are returning to Earth when you're all woken from your cryosleep by the emergency alarm, warning that an alien life form has been detected on board the ship.

Suspecting that one of your crew mates has been taken over by an alien, you must discover who it is, before they infect the whole crew and invade Earth.

Instructions at the foot of each page will guide readers through the book. They are offered choices throughout the tale and they must decide who to trust and what action to take. Every decision they make will take them on a different path and directly affect the outcome of the story. If the story ends badly, they can start again!

There are over 45 possible endings and 20 puzzles to solve, including spot-the-difference pictures and code-breaking tasks. This exciting, immersive space adventure is accompanied by attractive black-and-white illustrations which bring the action to life.
