Sol Invictus
The epic Heavy Metal Thunder gamebook series continues in Sol Invictus.
For three years the soldiers of the Black Lance Legion have watched as the Invaders turned their solar system into a hellish, desolate wasteland. As time passed, humanity’s most advanced fighting force lurked in the shadows, doing nothing while their species was forced to choose between eternal enslavement… or extinction.
The wait ends when Admiral Franks, the legendary Storm Lord at the head of the Legion, announces a system-wide uprising against humanity’s oppressors. Cromulus and his team of human fanatics find themselves on the front lines, doing whatever it takes to crush the will of the Invaders.
In SOL INVICTUS, Cromulus finds out that not all humans are willing to take the kinds of risks that he takes. And while Cromulus has less than zero tolerance for pacifism, what the Legion does with its softer recruits may be too much even for him…
This branching narrative gamebook is driven by the reader’s decisions during key moments of the story. All sections are hyperlinked, making it unnecessary for the reader to flip through dozens of sections after making a choice. No dice are required, but stats and equipment can be recorded by readers who are comfortable with RPGs and nerd culture.
