El choque del cometa

Choose Your Own Adventure #144

by Edward Packard, Leslie H. Morrill (Illustrator), Edith Tálamo (Translator)

Durante tu estadía como alumno interno en el Observatorio Científico Kimball descubres que un cometa se dirige directamente hacia el lugar de residencia de tu familia. Es probable que sólo roce la atmósfera terrestre, pero también podría estrellarse contra la ciudad de Los Ángeles o caer en el océano Pacífico, produciendo una ola gigantesca que barrería toda la costa del sur de California. El pánico cunde en todo el país. El presidente ha ordenado a la NASA que dispare un misil para desviar el curso del cometa. La población está evacuando el área. Tus padres no saben qué hacer y te piden un consejo. ¿Qué les sugerirás?

¿Qué pasa a continuación? Todo depende de las decisiones que tú tomes. ¿Cómo termina la historia? ¡Sólo tú puedes averiguarlo! ¡Y lo mejor de todo es que puedes seguir leyendo y releyendo hasta que hayas tenido no una, sino muchas experiencias increíbles y emocionantes!

About the author

Edward Packard attended and graduated from both Princeton University and Columbia Law School. He was one of the first authors to explore the idea of gamebooks, in which the reader is inserted as the main character and makes choices about the direction the story will go at designated places in the text.

The first such book that Edward Packard wrote in the Choose Your Own Adventure series was titled "Sugarcane Island", but it was not actually published as the first entry in the Choose Your Own Adventure Series. In 1979, the first book to be released in the series was "The Cave of Time", a fantasy time-travel story that remained in print for many years. Eventually, one hundred eighty-four Choose Your Own Adventure books would be published before production on new entries to the series ceased in 1998. Edward Packard was the author of many of these books, though a substantial number of other authors were included as well.

In 2005, Choose Your Own Adventure books once again began to be published, but none of Edward Packard's titles have yet been included among the newly-released books.

Reviews

[Josiah · Rating 2 out of 5]

This adventure is loaded with potential, and Edward Packard does a decent job fulfilling it. The narrative branches out into many different avenues for exploration, allowing much freedom of choice for the reader who wants to control the action as much as possible while still enjoying a quality story.

[JKR · Rating 4 out of 5]

As a general rule, Edward Packard’s science fiction books in the CYOA series are among the best titles the series has to offer, and this is no exception.

the adventures that I went through when I was bored I just read these books over and over again you would never get to the end of the story.
