A furious Revolution boils on the planet below. A massive, silent government ship floats invisibly through the stars above. And Kai, a government pilot just sits in her bunk, watching the news.
A hateful, violent woman has been elected as the new President of the Galaxy. Everyone's upset about it. But no one's as upset as Kai. And she has a good reason: that woman is her mother.
In this Choose Your Own Story book, you get to make the choices for Kai as she deserts the Galactic Government and flies down to the Revolution planet to join their cause. What happens next is up to you! Will you go on a daring heist into the heart of the government ship? Or use your skills to battle it out in the skies over the alien planet? Will you train in the mysterious force they call Sol? Or will you just decide to leave the whole fight behind?
The Rogue Starfighter is a great interactive adventure for readers of eight years and older. Fans of Star Trek, Star Wars, especially recent movies Episode Seven: The Force Awakens, and Rogue One, will love this swashbuckling adventure where they get to live inside the story. Reluctant readers will be drawn in by the constant choices and interactivity and everyone will love exploring the twenty-five different endings and hundreds of choices!
The news had come in through the junky holo-screen propped up at the end of Kai’s bunk.
The rest of the pilots were gathered in the commissary, drinking Blue Dwarf gin and watching the election on the big holo-stage. Kai could hear the hoots and hollers from all the way down at the end of the corridor as she snuck out of her bunk and towards the skyport.
Kai knew that they didn’t really care about the results. To them, it was all the same. Different presidents, different things to drop bombs on, same job. But a lot of them had heavy bets on the outcome, that’s why they were cheering. No one thought this would happen, no one thought she could win. Whoever bet on her had just won big.
Everyone was absorbed in their screens right now. As Kai reached the guard post outside the skyport she overheard the holoscreen speakers from inside emanating into the hallway.
“The election has officially been called, Daya Rakkam is the 1074th president of the Intra-galactic Government…”
The guard inside was so distracted that he hit the button to open the doors without even looking at Kai.
“Thanks,” Kai said as she walked through the door, and then more quietly to herself, she mumbled, “and I had so many good excuses prepared, what a waste…”
The skyport was pretty empty right now. The whole galaxy was watching the news coming in on the holoscreens. But one supply tanker, that had dropped off its supplies of food, plasma and gin, was preparing to exit the port. Kai avoided eye contact as she wove through the lines of waiting fighter ships, looking for something.
“There you are.” She tapped one of the fighters on the nose. A scratch, about a foot long, ran along the paint there. Barely noticeable except to Kai, because it marked her favourite ship in the whole fleet. All the fighters were technically supposed to be the same… but there was just something about this one.
“Let’s do this Bessy,” Kai said as she silently booted up the core engine. As she did, the robot slumped in the seat beside her came to life.
“Hello Kai Rakkam, pilot 30021-FC, welcome to fighter BES-033. I will be your co-pilot for the flight.” The bot’s chrome head straightened up and it’s red glowing eyes flashed and blinked. It extended one silver hand for Kai to shake. “You can call me Elvis—”
“Oh gosh, no, no, no, no, shutoff,” Kai said exasperatedly as she punched the controls. “Sleep.”
“Sleeping is not a function I’ve been designed to perform,” the robot chirped. “How was your sleep?”
“Okay, just don’t talk or anything.”
