In 2007 Mongoose Publishing will be bringing you a massive selection of Lone Wolf
products to thrill fans, both old and new:
Gamebooks
We will be reissuing the entire original Lone Wolf series from books 1 to 28. Fans
of the fi rst Lone Wolf book, Flight From The Dark, should prepare themselves for
a retelling of the original story as Joe Dever is to rewrite his seminal book to mirror
the upcoming 2008 computer game release. No longer will you begin the adventure
waking from unconsciousness to discover the Kai Monastery in ruins. Now you are
there when the Darklords attack, fi ghting alongside your Kai masters in what will
be their last battle, clearing Giak and Drakkarim assault troops from the monastery
halls, defending the battlements as wave upon wave of Kraan come sweeping in to
attack, fi ghting your way to the top of the Tower of the Sun to trigger the beacon
that will warn Sommerlund that the invasion has begun, and escaping through the
secret tunnel in the Grand Master’s vault that will take you to the relative safety of the
surrounding forest.
The gamebooks will not only contain the original Lone Wolf saga with all new
cover and internal artwork, but will also feature a bonus tale in each book, following
a different character that Lone Wolf meets in his epic saga. These new stories
will allow readers to play as these characters and learn secrets that even Lone Wolf
never discovered.
Lone Wolf ’s most popular companion will also be appearing in gamebook form, as a
series of Banedon stories will also be produced in 2007. The fi rst of these tales will be
an extension of the adventure featured in the Magnamund Companion, as Banedon
desperately makes his way from Toran to warn the Kai of the impending invasion.
Now Banedon will accompany Lone Wolf during part of his adventure as they evade
the agents of the Darklands and make their way to Holmgard.
Not only this, but Joe Dever is also currently working on the last four Lone Wolf
gamebooks (29-32) to complete his epic saga. These will be produced in 2007 and
will be printed by Mongoose Publishing throughout 2008. Prepare yourselves, for
these fi nal adventures will see Lone Wolf and his allies facing their most challenging
enemies yet!
While you will be able to pick these new Lone Wolf books up from your local book
store, we will also have them available from our website, and there will be a special
treat in store for dedicated fans. Whether you take a subscription out to be sent the
gamebooks as soon as they are released, or simply collect them one by one at your
pleasure, anyone who orders the complete set from us (over whatever time period)
will also be sent their own replica of the Sommerswerd, free of charge. We will have
pictures of this magnifi cent blade next year, before the gamebooks become available.
Novels
More? Alright then; Mongoose Publishing will also be producing a range of original
Lone Wolf novels featuring all new characters. The fi rst two trilogies will begin in
2007 with more to come in 2008. War on a massive scale will be the main feature of
the fi rst trilogy as the valiant crusaders of Lencia take on the might of the Drakkarim
of Nyras. The second trilogy will see the rise of a great evil that could threaten the
safety of all Magnamund…
Roleplaying Game
And the future of the roleplaying game? Well, we have decided to release a new Lone
Wolf RPG alongside the gamebooks, with mechanics based on (though expanded
from) the system found in the gamebooks themselves so that readers old and new
can experience Lone Wolf adventures with their friends. Our intention here is to a)
give Lone Wolf RPG fans a quick and easy to learn system allowing them to tour
Magnamund, but mostly for b) a fond hope that we can bring new players into the
hobby using the same road that we took all those years ago.
