4-6Worst-Case Scenario Ultimate Adventure series.
Illustrated by
Yancey Labat.
With Robert Zubrin. In this Choose-Your-Own-Adventure-style book, readers join an international crew on a journey to Mars. The mission is "Help prepare Mars Base I for its first wave of permanent settlers" then return safely to Earth. Organization is spotty: the appended "Mars Expedition File" should be read before takeoff, as it provides maps, diagrams, and lifesaving information. Comic-style black-and-white illustrations enhance the interactive adventure.
