Point Zenith
Book 2 from the UBU Adventure Series
The year is 2676. The planet is flooding. And the 200 million Clones who live on Point Zenith think you — the Inventor, an Original — are the reason why.
You built the Hydrolizer to save this planet. Now it might be destroying it. The Originals want to maintain control. The Clones want a seat at the table — or a way off the planet entirely. Eleutheria, the all-powerful AI who has guided the Originals across universes for generations, is waiting for your command. And somewhere in the background, the Eucliddeans — the most war-like species in the known galaxies — are watching for weakness.
Do you trust Eleutheria? Do you trust the Clones? Do you trust yourself?
There are only 7 endings. Three are generally good. Four are generally bad. But the line between them is thinner than you think.
What Makes This Book Different
Point Zenith is the most structurally challenging title in the IF/THEN catalog. Many choices offer three, four, even five options. Some paths loop back on themselves. The book describes itself as a maze — and it means it.
But the real challenge isn't navigational. It's moral. You are the Inventor, an Original on a planet built by Originals, and every decision forces you to weigh survival against justice, loyalty against truth, and the comfort of control against the terrifying possibility that everything you've been told about who deserves to lead is wrong.
The endings don't reward cleverness. They reveal character. A mid-level manager on a permanently flooded planet. An alien invasion you brought on yourself. A genocide you could have stopped. Or — if you're willing to let go of enough — something close to paradise.
What's Inside
- 7 endings — 3 good, 4 bad, and the difference between them is never obvious
- Dense decision architecture with choices offering up to 5 options
- A full glossary of Point Zenith terminology — Leap Frog Events, the Tranzosphere, the Circle of Life Chain, Creatonian Capsules, and more
- A built world with its own political system, physics, history, and laws
- Themes: power, identity, colonialism, environmental crisis, artificial intelligence, what it means to be human
- 5×8 paperback, approx. 220 pages
Who This Is For
Readers 14–17 who want science fiction that asks real questions. Point Zenith plays like a political thriller wrapped in a choose-your-own-adventure — but the choices aren't about which door to open. They're about what kind of leader you're willing to be, and what you're willing to do to the people who trust you.
Ideal for high school classrooms exploring ethics, political philosophy, colonialism, or AI — and for readers who want to argue about endings long after they've finished.
