    About this ebook

    Beware: This is not a normal book. For the last few months you have been working on a secret project with a team of scientists from all over the world. Utilizing the delicate nature of quantum physics, you have finally discovered how to travel through time. You are going to be sent back to the year 1347 – the medieval age! Will you remain trapped in the past forever? Will you die an untimely and terrible death? Or will you use your wit and intelligence to escape from the medieval age and return to the present? It all depends on the choices YOU make! If you like interactive adventures then you'll love this book! Are you the sociable type who would clank flagons with the rowdy locals down at the medieval inn? Perchance the solitary type, preferring (what you imagine will be) a gentle romp under the boughs of the forest? Will you gain honor by saving a maiden in distress or pour it all down the privy by becoming the scoundrel who robs her? An undercover knight, overzealous priest, unmerciful mercenaries, a monk with a secret, and an unhinged old woman await you on your journey to one of 26 possible endings. Escape from the Medieval Age is written in a 'choose your own adventure' style where you have the opportunity to decide what happens next. This style is influenced by long summer days flicking through the Choose your Own Adventure, Fighting Fantasy, Endless Quest, Grail Quest and Lone Wolf books trying to keep as many fingers as possible marking previous pages just in case I took a bad decision!

      Escape From the Medieval Age - Steve Hurley

      BEWARE:

      This is not a normal book!

      Within these pages are multiple adventures which you will have while trying to escape from the medieval age.

      As you read through this book you will be faced with many decisions.

      You must be careful.

      If you choose well, you may manage to escape from the medieval age and return to the present…

      but

      …taking the wrong path could lead to your ultimate destruction or worse.

      Have you got what it takes to succeed?

      Now, turn to the next page.

      Good Luck!

      1

      For the last few months you have been working on a secret project with a team of scientists from all over the world. You were especially chosen from among all the students in your country and have been training hard every day after college in a hidden underground laboratory.

      This morning you are carrying out the final experiment. Utilising the delicate nature of quantum physics, you have finally discovered how to travel through time.

      You personally volunteer to be the first to try the new machine. You are going to be sent back to the year 1347 – the medieval age!

      You fidget nervously watching the technicians make the final adjustments to the machine. You remember from your history training that two kings were fighting for the throne at the time so you’ll have to have all your wits about you to survive this romantic but violent time.

      Turn to page 2.

      2

      A team of white-coated men and women are stood all around you, watching expectantly. The head scientist gives you a tiny circular device with a single button. It’s about the size of a large coin.

      You’ll need this to return, he says. Just press the button when you are inside the machine and it will automatically return you to the present. You’ll be returned to your most familiar surroundings and you will think everything is just a dream.

      You take a step towards the machine.

      It looks like a giant spring, pulsing up and down. It has an opening in one side and as it slowly grows in height, the opening becomes big enough for you to step into.

      The machine flashes with a vivid turquoise-blue light, the brightness increasing as you step inside. You hear one of the scientists shout, "Ready... now." A dull humming noise fills your ears, growing louder and louder until it is deafening. The blue lights flash faster. Then, you seem to go blind for a second as everything turns white. Trusting the scientists but feeling absolutely terrified, you squeeze your eyes shut, then... silence.

      Turn to page 3.

      3

      You slowly open your eyes to find that you are surrounded by trees – massive trees. You would need four or five people just to hold hands around the trunk of one of these giants.

      There is something else unnerving.

      You stand on a muddy path for a while trying to figure out what it is, then it dawns on you. There’s no noise. No traffic, no aeroplanes, nothing; only silence and the occasional bird singing in the treetops.

      The machine behind you starts to hum again then in seconds it flashes and disappears. What? Where did it go?

      Turn to page 4.

      Back in the laboratory you had heard the scientists discussing the probability of a ‘location jump’ due to some minor technical errors with the machine. You check your pocket for the return device. Good, still there. The machine can’t have gone far. All you have to do is survive long enough to track it down and return to your own time. You hope this will be as easy as it sounds.

      You are dressed in a colourful medieval outfit and have only a few authentic medieval pennies which the scientists provided you with. You look around, taking in your unfamiliar surroundings. You are standing on a small hill at the edge of an enormous medieval forest. The muddy path you are standing on goes two ways. At the bottom of the hill you see a small medieval town.

      If you head down to the town, turn to page 57.

      If you decide to explore the forest, turn to page 9.

      5

      After your lucky escape from the soldiers the adrenaline is pumping through your body and the last thing you feel like doing is going back to sleep or hiding in a grimy pile of straw. You creep towards the shadowy trees of the ancient medieval forest.

      It is hard going trying to pick your way between the dense trees in the black of night. A wolf howls every few minutes causing you to freeze, rooted to the spot, trying to guess how far away it is. You stumble a couple of times, and after a few hours, when the morning shades of red and yellow are beginning to show in the sky, you see bloody scratches on your arms and legs.

      Your whole body aches from the night’s exertion and the morning sunlight now allows you to forage for food for your grumbling stomach. You try a small red berry from a nearby bush but immediately spit it out – it tastes like sour milk! You see a rabbit darting across the path but you have no idea how you would cook it even if you could catch it.

      You also realise that you wouldn’t remember your way back to the town if you needed to turn back, and staring around at the never-ending trees, you feel a seed of panic take root.

      Turn to page 14.

      6

      The first thing you notice as you enter the great hall is a gigantic roaring fire warming the whole room. You could park three or four cars inside that fireplace and the chimney must be enormous.

      In front of you is a massive rectangular wooden table. It is covered with fine silver chalices and the food looks so beautiful you’re not sure if it’s edible or only for decoration. Dogs scamper around under the tables begging for scraps.

      I say, come hither valiant one, comes a shout from the
