The Crossroads Adventure series is a line of gamebook-style choose-your-own-adventure books published by Tor Books between 1987 and 1998. What makes these books unusual is that each one is set in an already established fantasy world created by a well-known author. Readers get to make choices that shape the story as they move through settings like Anne McCaffrey’s Pern, Piers Anthony’s Xanth, and Robert Silverberg’s Majipoor.
Jody Lynn Nye wrote several entries in the series. Her contributions include Dragonharper and Dragonfire, both set on McCaffrey’s Pern, and Encyclopedia of Xanth, set in Anthony’s pun-filled magical world. Other authors contributed volumes set in the worlds of Steven Brust, Katherine Kurtz, and L. Sprague de Camp, among others.
The Crossroads Adventure books are a product of the 1980s gamebook boom that also produced the Fighting Fantasy and Lone Wolf series. They offered fans a way to interact with fictional worlds they already loved, and the books remain a fun curiosity for collectors and fans of interactive fiction.
