Let's Read the Lone Wolf Game Book Series

The Flight from the Dark by Joe Dever was the beginning of the Lone Wolf series of choose your own adventure gamebooks.  In 1984 in the first month of publication it sold over 100,000 copies of the series debut alone.

It was one of the first "advanced" versions of choose your own adventure books I played as a kid.  Advanced, in that not only were you making decisions and reading associated passages, but you were also fighting combat with random number generation to determine the combat outcome.  It was also possible to customize your version of Lone Wolf picking from an assortment or starting skills.

The books are now all available online at Project Aon where you can read them for free and play along if you'd like.

Since it has been so long since I originally read these books it will be very much like a blind play-though.  I will be using the online versions of the books through Project Aon and a standard 10-sided die instead of the random number generator table originally provided in the back of the books. I won't cheat and use spoilers, walk-throughs  or re-make any bad decisions.

This means when Lone Wolf dies this project is over.  With the series running over 30 books it will be quite a challenge, a Magnakai sized one at that.

How far will I make it . . . Flight From the Dark starting soon.
