The recently re-released Escape

Escape is the 20th book in the Choose Your Own Adventure series, written by R.A. Montgomery. It was initially published in 1983 by Bantam Books. It joined The Abominable Snowman, Journey Under the Sea and a number of Montgomery's Choose Your Own Adventures in the 2005 re-release of the series under its new publisher Chooseco LLC, which is owned in part by Montgomery himself. Upon the republishing it was renumbered as book 8th in the "new" series.

The book is 144 pages long and has 27 possible endings.

In a far off dystopian future, the reader must is on the run from a variety of forces who want to get their hands on secret plans held by the reader. After escaping from the totalitarian Doradan’s maximum security prison, the reader is faced with variety of obstacles ranging from untrustworthy friends, to the pilot having a heart attack. Through the readers choices, the resolution is made clear and your home is saved… or not.

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 an end, at which point they have either succeeded or met some potentially terrible fate.

The story has also been modernized to reflect the changes in technology.
