Find Your Fate - The Everglades Swamp Terror

Ballantine Books published a series of Young Adult books under the "Find Your Fate" logo. The gimmick - by making decisions at certain points of the book, you changed the outcome of the story and you went to a certain page instead of another.

Pictured above is number 5 in the series - The Everglades Swamp Terror by Eric Affabee. The book is 88 pages in length, it's ISBN # is 0-345-32986-4, and it was first published in February of 1986.

The back of the book reads: Cobra has gone too far this time. The GI Joe Team can't let them get away with THE EVERGLADES SWAMP TERROR.

Duke calls an emergency meeting in the Briefing Room of the Pit: Cobra has kidnapped two members of the GI Joe Team!!

Torpedo and Trip-Wire were on a secret mission in the Florida Everglades, testing a new kind of hovercraft developed by the army. The GI Joe communications expert, Breaker, intercepted a Cobra message and learned your comrades had been taken prisoner.

Your team: Cutter, Lady Jaye, Gung-Ho, Deep Six, an Recondo. Your Mission: rescue Torpedo and Trip-Wire and retrieve the one-of-a-kind hovercraft. Your codename: Wiseguy. As strategy specialist, you will make the big decisions.

Cobra fighter planes, alligator pits, and armed fishermen are only a few of the dangers awaiting you. The very honor of the GI Joe Team is at stake, Wiseguy, so make the right moves as you FIND YOUR FATE.

The cover was painted by Hector Garrido.
