War with the Evil Power Master (Choose Your Own Adventure #12)

4 stars or more with these books means you can find a happy ending in the book. some don't have any. given the topic of this one this one has one ending in which you defeat the power master. so unlike other of these books with no positive endings this one has what you would call a satisfying ending in that you defeat him.

This book is really cool and let's YOU choose what happens. Most people read a book and think, why did the character choose that??? or the character should have done this!!!! But now thanks to to RA Montgomery now people can choose what they want the character character to do. Also, I would also recommend the house of danger and space and beyond, they are both choose your own adventures by RA Montgomery. I find this series interesting and cool and I hope you do to!

The only reason I would recommend getting this book is to fill the gap in your Choose your own adventure collection. R.A. Montgomery is real notorious on vagueness when it comes to his storytelling. He'll be real in depth with the plot on one hand and then fast forward with generalizations on the other. I also don't understand why he keeps recycling names of planets and galaxies from his other works like 'Space and Beyond'. I was able to beat the book on my first read. All I really had to do was not be reckless and make 'safe bet' decisions, more specifically: always consult with congress. In the end, it seemed that destroying the 'Power Master's' fleet of minions and breaking through his forcefield was a piece of cake in all of a half a page. I suppose it's all just campy, innocent, 80's sci-fi complete with futuristic 'printouts' of data.

I read War with the Evil Power Master. There were many different stories with many different endings. I read all the stories, some of witch I died in and others I was a hero. I would recommend this book if you like sifi fantasy adventures. So if you like stuff like that, go get this book!

A sequel to the Prisoner of the Ant People. Not as interesting, the artwork and writing seems lazy, and I lost interest after a few reads. Just meh.

War with the Evil Power Master (Choose Your Own Adventure #37, reissue #12) by R.A. Montgomery is as bad as it sounds. It's a sequel of sorts to Prisoner of the Ant People (CYOA #25, reissue #10), which I have yet to have the pleasure to read. This book's a lot of uninteresting nonsense and exposition with little actually happening and I wasn't able/willing to finish this 118 page (with pictures) book.The plot is you and your martian friend Flppto, a shirtless bald alien with thick eyebrows and jean shorts, are part of the Lacoonian System Rapid Force trying to stop the Evil Power Master (EPM) from blowing up anymore planets. You're part of the Lacoonian System, a peaceful federation of civilized worlds, who have rejected other worlds from joining because they were either dying civilizations or because the Lacoonian System decided they were more bad than good. Shockingly enough this has caused those other worlds to be a little pissy.The writing's lazy. In one scene the EPM has left a taunting message on a computer screen for when the good guys find it. Fortunately for our heroes when you hit print on said computer it prints out EPM's entire plan. This is followed by one of the good guys remarking how the villains are very smart and that somehow being smart means they'll return to the computer (that they left as a taunt.. for the good guys to find). In another scene after wading through lots of talking and background story, the ending arrives with good and bad finally meeting up. But all the reader gets is a bland and brief description of a battle that 'ebbs and flows'. Heck, the author even points out he was too lazy to get creative by having the characters mention that the EPM, master of thousands of advanced civilizations, insists on using old desk computers, haha.Also what/who the EPM is changes depending on your ending. In one ending he's, SPOILER!, a lobster.The art by Paul Abram's not very good with no backgrounds and simple drawings like a coloring book. You, the narrator, often have no face, which I assume was from the publisher wanting the identity of the narrator being an every-man, but it's done in a very half-bum way. The silly designs include a gorilla-rooster looking creature and a lot of He-Man villains, though the floating robot Rendoxoll is pretty cute.I laughed when the Evil Power Master threatens 'FOOLS: YOUR TIME IS ALMOST UP. CAPITULATE NOW!'This also made me laugh because of the tough description mixed with the funny names:'She is respected for her firmness, wisdom, judgement, and patience. Tara is also remembered as a fierce warrior, a heroine of the early days of the Purple Days War, when bandits ravaged the independent planets. Now she faces you. There is determination in the set of her mouth. "So, Commander, it's our old friend the Evil Power Master, is it?" 'And some melodramtics: 'With the swiftness of a forest that falls silent at an intruder's appearance, the noise is extinguished..'And here's the ending I hit that lead me to stop reading the book. Keep in mind in every other path the EPM is evil and on the first page of the book he blows up two peaceful planets.' "We're going into Follop, Flppto. Haven't got time to waste now"The Follop defenses suddenly, msyteriously cease. Your ship crusies in unopposed, landing near a large city.A strange - perhaps magical - force overcomes you and Flppto. You seem to drift on a cushion of air. Everything seems beautiful, comfortabel, and right. Horror is gone; agony does not exist.A voice floats toward you."NOT SO EVIL AFTER ALL, IS IT? WHY NOT JOIN US?"Your thoughts drift, examining the questions and the choice. Battles and fighting are forgotten.What will you decided? How can you know that the creature you call the Evil Power Master is really evil? Maybe you can't know. Maybe he isn't The End'I'd skip this one.

Set in a distant future with humans and alien beings working side by side in an on going battle against the self called Evil Power Master, you and your partner, the alien being Flppto, are the commanders are battling against this force of evil. Basically its a war of good vs evil that could go either way depending on what happens.
