So now it's 8ft tall women from Capella, whose hobbies include very violently raping Earthmen...

So far not impressed. The author seems obsessed with sex and female nudity. I'm on the 3rd story. If none of the stories are to my liking, this will be going to a charity shop.

Seemed very promising but not keen on the crudeness which has crept in. Hopefully this is just characteristic of the monologue of the obnoxious xenophobic prat in the first story.

By the end I was down to Stamina 7 and Luck 6.
It does seem really stupid that the best space Sci fi gamebooks, like this one, are all out of print!

First time playing it this year, although enjoyed played it countless times before. It’s still great fun. My stats were Skill 11, Stamina 18, Luck 8
Had some problems finding the drugs ring and thought I had a good chance of failing there and indeed have done a few times in the past but succeeded this time.

I'd forgotten how horribly condescending the ancient Aes Sedai, Cadsuane, is to everyone. She chides Rand for having no manners, while treating him like a child. It is also implied she would have happily bonded him against his will, which many Aes Sedai would regard as bad as rape! She is also scathing of the rebellion against Elaida.
On the bright side the relationship between Min and Rand has progressed.

This was one of the books I was impatient to finish reading The Last Command for but I certainly am not enjoying it no where near as much as that book.

I didn't enjoy reading the ending as much as I have previously. On Saturday I bought two books at a car boot sale so was impatient to finish The Last Command before starting one of them. One book I'd not read before and the other I had read back when I was a kid.
