Synopsis

The Lucky Star. The Greatest Wonder in the World.

A luxury train for wealthy passengers seeking the journey of a lifetime …

And one of those passengers is YOU. You have secured a precious ticket, and you are bringing a secret on board — one that no one else must know.

But as The Lucky Star sets off on its journey, it soon becomes clear that you are not the only one with secrets.

Rumours spread among the passengers of a whispering voice in the train’s corridors, and before long, the first death occurs.

The choices you make aboard The Lucky Star will determine not only who lives and who dies … but the fate of the entire world.

An action-packed choose-your-own-adventure novel where every decision you make has enormous consequences, illustrated by Mikkel Schmidt Maltesen.
