Chrono Trigger (Boss Fight Books)

When Boss Fight Books first gave fans the chance to vote for the game they most wanted to read a book about, they chose the epic time-travel RPG masterpiece, Chrono Trigger!

Featuring exclusive interviews with original SNES translator Ted Woolsey and DS re-translator Tom Slattery, author Michael P. Williams delves deep into the fascinating connections between Crono's world and ours. This in-depth examination explores the game's nuanced take on societal institutions such as law and religion, analyzes how its iconic heroes both fit and defy classic genre conventions, and untangles the maddening logical headaches inherent in any great time-travel plot.

From the tragic moral weight of the Magus dilemma to the revolutionary mechanics of the courtroom scene, this book uncovers exactly why so many consider the Squaresoft classic to be the absolute high point of the entire role-playing genre. It is an essential, deeply researched tribute to a game that is both a ton of fun and a true work of art.
