“Greetings, Agent Valiant,
The Crown and Her forces face enemies on all fronts, on land and
on sea, in politics and in trade. But yours is a subtler mission, your
tools more covert, using perseverance, keen observational skills, and
strength of character and deed. You have joined the secret ranks of Her
Majesty’s Ministry of Intelligence, laying your life on the line to protect
Queen and Country. Choose your tools of subterfuge carefully, Valiant,
for success or failure from here rests on your choices.
Good Luck, and Godspeed

Valiant: The Field Agent’s Handbook
Set in the Dystopian Age, amidst the never-ending conflict of the warring powers, Valiant sees you play your way through the setting of your favourite games like never before. Written by Jonathan Green, highly acclaimed for his work on the Fighting Fantasy books, and illustrated by Neil Googe, this upcoming gamebook places you in the role of Valiant, an Agent in the Circus (Her Majesty’s Ministry of Intelligence), and provides a glimpse into the world of the Dystopian Age as your actions decide the fate of your mission for the Crown.
“I am excited to be diving into the Dystopian Age with the team at Warcradle Studios and exploring the world from a ground-level, human perspective. The Dystopian Age is an incredibly rich setting, embellished with creations of weird science as well as sinister alien elements. I am looking forward to bringing some of the darker corners of the milieu into the light for readers and gamers to enjoy through the tried-and-tested adventure gamebook format.
Valiant casts you, the reader, in the role of an agent of the Crown working to maintain the Pax Britannica around the world. Expect daring feats of derring-do, monsters, mayhem, and all manner of madness, where a roll of the dice could decide your fate. God save the Queen!”
Jonathan Green, Author
“Valiant allows readers to explore the world of the Dystopian Age, putting them in the driver’s seat as an agent of the Crown. What will you do when confronted with corrupt oligarchs, unpredictable automatons and raging hulks bent on your destruction?”
Sophie Williams, Game Development Manager
The medium of a gamebook has allowed us to share the story of the Dystopian Age in a way we have never done before. Valiant offers a fresh, bottom-up approach to storytelling in the Dystopian Age, where hundreds of choices and rolls of the dice decide the outcome of the combat and rich narrative. Fight the enemies of the Crown, suffer injury and emerge victorious. The most striking part is that Valiant is whoever YOU choose them to be. Their gender, background and appearance are for you to decide. We can’t wait to see where your decisions take you in Valiant.
