Product Description Space and Beyond by R. A. Montgomery takes YOU on an intergalactic adventure past black holes and meteorites to visit your new home planet! 9-12 year old readers will hurtle through space, faster than the speed of light, exploring new stars, planets, and galaxies, engaging with other life forms, and even traveling through time! Choose Your Own Adventure Space and Beyond is an interactive adventure book in which YOU decide what happens next. You were born on a spaceship traveling between galaxies and raised by parents from two different planets. You are now old enough to decide your citizenship: Will you choose planet Kenda or planet Croyd to be your home? Do you peacefully join a group of aliens or fight them off? How should you thwart a curse placed upon you? What do you do in the face of dinosaurs? How can you work as an agent of intergalactic peace? For readers who enjoyed other titles from the Choose Your Own Adventure series including: Prisoner of the Ant People by R. A. Montgomery, Project UFO by R. A. Montgomery, and Moon Quest by Anson Montgomery. Review Between the lines of each Choose adventure lies some complex science. The choice-and-effect format reflects the treelike structure in game theory to chart possible outcomes based on initial circumstances. Every book contains different but simultaneous outcomes- something that quantum physics posits is the case in the real world, too. --Wired Magazine About the Author R. A. MONTGOMERY attended Hopkins Grammar School, Williston-Northampton School and Williams College where he graduated in 1958. He pursued graduate studies in Religion and Economics at Yale and NYU. Montgomery was an adventurer all his life, climbing mountains in the Himalaya, skiing throughout Europe and scuba-diving wherever he could. His interests included education, macro-economics, geo-politics, mythology, history, mystery novels and music. He wrote his first interactive book, Journey Under the Sea, in 1976 and published it under the series name The Adventures of You. A few years later Bantam Books bought this book and gave Montgomery a contract for five more, to inaugurate their new children's publishing division. Bantam renamed the series Choose Your Own Adventure and a publishing phenomenon was born. The series has sold more than 260 million copies in over 40 languages. He was married to the writer Shannon Gilligan. Montgomery died in November 2014, only two months after his last book was published.
