Tries to recapture the popularity of the original, June 28, 2001
This review is from: TRIAL OF CHAMPIONS (Fighting Fantasy) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a bit of a sequel to the popular Fighting Fantasy book Deathtrap Dungeon. Basically the Baron of Fang has decided to rebuild his challenging dungeon after the hero of the last book defeated it. A relative of the Baron has decided to send his own champion-he kidnaps you and many other people in order to insure that he has someone that can survive the challenge.
The best part of this book is the beginning where all of his slaves are put through survival tests meant to kill any unworthy candidates. The final survivor (hopefully you) is rewarded with a chance to survive the deathrap dungeon. This is basically the best part of the book (unless you haven't read some of the better Fighting Fantasy books and don't have anything to compare it to).
Overall this book is average-it's obvious that it tries to recapture the popularity of Deathtrap Dungeon but doesn't quite manage it. To give you an idea, I'd say out of the 20 or so FF books I've read I'd place Trial of Champions around number 10 (Deathtrap Dungeon would be number 2).
