Rebel Planet is a single player roleplaying book, written by Robin Waterfield and illustrated by Gary Mayes, originally published in 1985. The book is part of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy series, numbered 18 in the original Puffin printing.
In Rebel Planet, Earth and her colonies have been conquered by an alien race known as the Arcadians. Humans have become slaves, and are kept alive only to serve their alien masters. But there is hope! A human organization known as SAROS ("Search And Research Of Space") has discovered that the Arcadians rely on a powerful super-computer to keep themselves networked together. Without this computer, they are merely zombies, incapable of acting on their own. SAROS has limited resources, but a secret plot is hatched to infiltrate Arcadion and destroy the queen computer. The reader plays the role of the lone hope of humanity, an undercover agent posing as a space merchant.
The book was adapted into an adventure game for the ZX Spectrum.
