You are Lone Wolf - the last Kai Master of Sommerlund. Your vow to restore the Kai to their former glory takes you to the fabulous land of Dessi, a land of monsters and magicians. The sorcerers of this realm pledge to aid your quest - but they demand a price for their help. Somewhere deep within CASTLE DEATH lies a key to the wisdom of your ancestors. Will you find this key or will you, like all who have entered before you, succumb to the terrot that stalks the dungeons of this nightmare fortress. The Lone Wolf adventures are a unique fantasy game book series - each episode can be played separately or you can combine them all to create a fantastic role-playing epic.

Gotta have them

These books are awesome! I read a few as a kid and am now trying to collect the entire series to read in sequential order and also to have them for when my son is old enough to read them.

These are the role-playing games of a bygone era prior to RPG video games. Though well written, these are easy enough reads for a younger person.

Unoriginal dungeon crawl - still fun though.

Reviewed in the United States on June 17, 2006

I started this series probably 15 years ago, maybe more. I remember being so wrapped up in this interactive adventure that I couldn't wait to get my hands on the next installment. Well, while cleaning off my shelves a few days ago I stumbled across these gems and I tell you, I got overwhelmed with the same feelings.

You are Lone Wolf, the last of the Kai Warriors in the land of Sommerlund. Throughout your adventures (the are 28 books and 4 "World of Lone Wolf" books) you will face monsters big and small, wizards, magicians, puzzles, riddles, and everything else your imagination can think of.

This book is just like your standard "Choose Your Own Adventure" book except that it is more interactive. Not only do you choose your path, but you also choose your skills, equipment, and whether or not you want to battle enemies. This book employs an interesting combat system in which you pick a number from the "Random Number Table" at the end of the book by closing your eyes and poking the page with your eraser. I highly recommend getting ahold of a 10-sided die to use instead, because after a few books one can learn where the higher number areas are.

"Castle Death" is a rather disappointing addition to the series. This book is unoriginal. It is your basic dungeon crawl on a quest that feels like it could have been left out of the overarching series. Additionally, the title, "Castle Death," is incredibly uninspired and unoriginal. However, it is still a fun adventure and necessary to play if you are going through the series. Just don't expect too much in terms of plot and setting development.

I had the first 15 books of the series when I was younger and now that I've reread them, I am scrounging ebay and used Amazon books to locate the next ones. Unfortunately all of these books are out of print. If you are looking for these books, I highly recommend getting the UK editions of books 12-20 because the US editions are abridged and are missing huge sections. Additionally, there are many "broken links" since they were edited so when it says to turn to page XX it takes you to the wrong place. Also, good luck finding books 21-28 as they were ONLY printed in the UK. They are very rare and if you have them, hold on to them!

Finally, Joe Dever has authorized the free distribution and licensing of his Lone Wolf series which are available online. This resource has the unabridged editions which makes it great. I will not give out the URL as part of the reviewers agreement but with a little searching you should be able to find it. However, I still prefer to read the paperback versions instead of an online version.

Lone Wolf fanatic in Pennsylvania

Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2001

Castle Death is a race to obtain one of the greatest artifacts in the World of Lone Wolf-a lorestone, particularly the Lorestone Of Herdos, which is held by the vile Zahda. Within the adventure, YOU are Lone Wolf and journey into the Kazan-Oud, or Castle Death, and are opposition to many bizzarr and dangerous creatures, and end up being imprisoned yourself! Upon escape from evil's tight clutches, you find the lorestone and Zahda himself-to find out what happens, get the book!

One of the best books I ever read.

Reviewed in the United States on November 21, 2005

I first read this book when I was eight, and, given that I liked fantasy at the time, it became my favorite book. I read it until my faithful copy fell apart, but by then, I had been able to beat it several times. If you like either fantasy or role-playing games, I strongly recommend that you read this book, for you will appriciate fantasy a lot more.

Castle Death is perhaps the closest Lone Wolf comes to a favourite game book from another series, Deathtrap Dungeon. Though Lone Wolf is much more layered with character histories that are so deep and imaginative, and the game play of Castle Death is sumptuous. I was lucky to get this for the reasonable price asked, as pretty much all the other CE volumes are well outside my price range. If you can get this book for a price you're happy with then I do recommend it a lot, it's depth of story telling and attention to detail makes any and every Lone Wolf book a masters piece of penmanship, plus the artwork is always first-rate.
