Find Your Fate - The Everglades Swamp Terror (Reprint)
Ballantine Books published a series of Young Adult books under the "Find Your Fate" logo. The gimmick - by making decisions at certain points of the book, you changed the outcome of the story and you went to a certain page instead of another.
Pictured above is a reprint of number 5 in the series - The Everglades Swamp Terror by Eric Affabee. The book is 88 pages in length, is a third printing of book 5, and is dated December of 1986. The color of the Find Your Fate logo on the front cover and spine has changed from light purple to light orange. The color of the title logo has changed from white to light orange. Also, the price has gone up, from $1.95 to $2.50. The series checklist in the front of the book and the mail order form in the back are now current up to book 12. The new ISBN # is 0-345-34628-9.
The back of the book reads: Cobra has gone too far this time. The GI Joe Team can't let them get away with THE EVERGLADES SWAMP TERROR.
Duke calls an emergency meeting in the Briefing Room of the Pit: Cobra has
kidnapped two members of the GI Joe Team!!
Torpedo and Trip-Wire were on a secret mission in the Florida Everglades,
testing a new kind of hovercraft developed by the army. The GI Joe
communications expert, Breaker, intercepted a Cobra message and learned your
comrades had been taken prisoner.
Your team: Cutter, Lady Jaye, Gung-Ho, Deep Six, an Recondo. Your Mission:
rescue Torpedo and Trip-Wire and retrieve the one-of-a-kind hovercraft.
Your codename: Wiseguy. As strategy specialist, you will make the big
decisions.
Cobra fighter planes, alligator pits, and armed fishermen are only a few of
the dangers awaiting you. The very honor of the GI Joe Team is at stake,
Wiseguy, so make the right moves as you FIND YOUR FATE.
The cover was painted by Hector Garrido.
