His book Imagining the Universe (1994), received a Scientific American book award. His recent writings are available at edwardpackard.com.

    R. A. MONTGOMERY wrote his first interactive book, Journey Under the Sea, in 1976 and published it under the series name The Adventures of You. A few years later Bantam Books bought this book, renamed the series Choose Your Own Adventure, and a publishing phenomenon was born. The series has sold more than 260 million copies in over 40 languages.
