It's a choose-your-own-adventure:

Also, those 40k RPGs (Dark Heresy, Rogue Trader, Deathwatch, etc) aren't by White Wolf. They're by Fantasy Flight.

I don't know if anyone ever read the "Star Wars Missions"
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Star_Wars_Missions

They're basically a CYOA with dice elements. You CYOA-around until you meet a 'dice challenge'.

You have your stats (strength, accuracy, etc).
You encounter a problem. You roll a die and attempt to roll under your characteristic (Akin to a characteristic roll in 40k). If there is an enemy to shoot, you roll "Ballistic Skill".
If you succeed, flip to page XX.
If you fail, flip to page YY.
"Failure" didn't necessarily mean 'game over', but it often meant you jammed the lock, the enemy got away, etc.

This looks almost exactly of that sort.

That Link wrote:This is the first of a new range of Warhammer 40,000 gamebooks, interactive novels where you take the role of the main character and decide where they go, what they do and whether they live or die. You fight the many enemies you meet in your adventure with a simple dice-based rules system where you roll to hit, wound and save, just like in Warhammer 40,000.
