[edit] CYOA
As is the custom for Choose Your Own Adventure, the story is told from the “You” perspective, placing the reader as the protagonist and giving them a new choice virtually every page until they reach end, at which point they have either succeeded or met some potentially terrible fate.
[edit] Plot
Your uncle Gilroy has found an amulet that unlocks the mystery of a strange civilization in the Australian desert, the previously only mythical city of Satyrion. You rush out to join him for an exciting trip through the outback. You learn quickly that Gilroy’s find in the sands has unlocked more than an ancient mystery: greedy strangers are on the same trail, but they are seeking uranium, not ancient relics. And they’ll do anything to stop people who are in their way!
