by James Schannep

3 Unique Storylines. Over 50 Possible Endings. Just one question... Will YOU Endure Treachery and Survival on the High Seas?

Praise for MAROONED:

"More thrilling than fifteen men on a dead man's chest--more fun than a bottle of rum!"
-Robert Louis Stevenson, author of Treasure Island
"If I could only bring one book to a desert island, that book would be MAROONED."
-Daniel Defoe, author of Robinson Crusoe
"I wish I'd thought to make mine interactive..."
-Herman Melville, author of Moby Dick

Here's how it works: You, Dear Reader, are the main character of this story, a youth born to prosperity in the English countryside. Now it's up to you to sail atop the vast oceans or be swallowed into their murky depths; the choice is yours.

You're captive on a pirate ship, but the Royal Navy is giving chase. What do YOU do?

Find a weapon. Time to fight off these pirates and help your liberators! Go to page 106
Sabotage the ship. Drop the anchor and strike the sails! Go to page 259

Set in the Golden Age of Piracy, MAROONED is your chance to climb aboard a wooden ship and set sail in a swashbuckling adventure that will pit you against pirates and mutineers, real-life deserted island survival scenarios, and naval battles as one sovereign wars against the crown across the sea.

Whether you're a fan of the classic book series like Horatio Hornblower and Aubrey / Maturin, or more modern films and shows like Pirates of the Caribbean or Black Sails, this is the one piece you need to live your own high seas adventure! Like the gamebooks popular in the 80s - 90s (Choose Your Own Adventure, Give Yourself Goosebumps, etc)*, this is a series where you choose to progress through the book. Unlike any others, this is the first series designed specifically for adults.

About the author

James Schannep has no tragic backstory.

Having grown up in a fairly ordinary suburban household, with a family who loved him, he was forced to dream up far flung adventures on strange new worlds where the hero can save the day and make a difference through strength of character alone.

Schannep attended the United States Air Force Academy, where he earned a Bachelor of Science in English Literature with a minor in General Engineering. After serving honorably as a Nuclear Missile Command and Control Officer, he returned to trying to make a difference through story.

As a screenwriter, game designer, and novelist, he is probably best known for his Click Your Poison series of interactive gamebooks.

Social Vampire is his first novel.

When not dreaming up strange new worlds, James lives in the one inhabited by his wife, who faithfully remains the patroness of his art, and with his children, who don’t quite grasp what they’ve inherited yet with such an eccentric father.
