A journey in the parallel universe, a gamebook of adventurous escapes in space.Dear reader, this book exists because you have decided to open it. To welcome us on the first page of the volume is Leo Ortolani in the flesh, or rather... in black and white: the father of Ratman, comic book series that made the history of the newsstand comics in Italy, accompanying the popularizers Luca Perri and Adrian Fartade.
This book is a space-themed game book, playable thanks to an engine of infinite improbability, that is... a die.
The reader relies on the cynical Perri and the more jovial Fartade to travel back in time and between galaxies, traverse wormholes, avoid black holes, supernovae and asteroids, enter time loops or explore moons and planets.
The dissemination of the most fascinating cosmological phenomena is intertwined with the vicissitudes of an adventurous journey in space that refers to the main sci-fi sagas of the nerd cult: Interstellar, Galaxy guide for hitchhikers, Star Wars, Star Trek. In the end, the choices of the reader will lead him to inglorious ends or to the goggled escape from the terrible Apollo Credici.
