THE ASTEROID is a brand new experience revolutioning theway to read and live the adventure.

THE ASTEROID is the first science-fiction novel that powers your iPad as no other ebook ever before. Page by page it will make you walk in the protagonist’s shoes so you’ll have to face many different tests: intelligence, action, memory, precision.

THE ASTEROID is a book with a hypertextual structure offering many possible evolutions through an extraordinary adventure. But it’s not you the one choosing how the story develops, everthing leans on on your ability with the games. Basically, if you overcome every challenge, the adventure will go on at its best. If you fail, the story will change and the ending will be more uncertain.

As it happens in real life, you can’t repeat the tests immediately if you’re not satisfied. You shall accept the verdict and go on reading, with the hope you have a new chance to show your value. But, unlikely the real life, if the story turns out bad, you will have the opportunity to start the book again trying to reach a better ending out.

In THE ASTEROID there are 9 engaging games, 20 different narrative paths, 9 alternative endings. But only 3 out of them are happy endings. Will you be good enough to reach them?
