Vacation on Planet Glor: A Mix-Your-Own Darklingverse Jam, by L. A. Guettler. "Choose your own adventure" books were popular when I was a kid, before the rise of video games as the way to make yourself the protagonist in the story. This one is not for kids, though: at least one story path leads to an inter-species orgy. The book is very funny, profane, and full of truly twisted twists. As the protagonist, "you" are a nerdy tourist on your first vacation in years. Your hotel sucks, crooks and cops alike prey on tourists, and a simple trip to the Natural History Museum turns out to be not so simple. Depending on the choices you make, you may wind up dead, arrested, kidnaped, or stuck in a time loop. Some of the endings are unexpected variations on "happily ever after." This book is set in the same universe as Red Darkling and Bonkpocalypse, and there are assorted cameos from characters from the Darklingverse. It works as a stand-alone, though. The only thing it needed was more page time for my favorite character: Bonk, the glitchy robot cat.
