[edit] Story
Looming above your home planet is the vast hulk of the starship Vandervecken. Aboard, the crazed scientist Cyrus is planning to unleash a gruesome experiment upon your world, which will destroy all life as it is known, leaving only hideous mutations in its wake. YOU are an assassin, and your mission is to stop him - before it is too late!
Space Assassin is the second Fighting Fantasy book in the science fiction genre, the first being Starship Traveller. The book places the player on the starship Vandervecken, where a crazed scientist plans to unleash a hideous experiment upon the player's homeworld.
The player must make his way through the labyrinthine Vandervecken, overcoming robots, mutants and other science fiction staples until he finally confronts the scientist. If he manages to defeat him the planet will be saved and the game will end successfully.
