Does anyone know where I can currently buy a copy of the Legend of Lone Wolf series of books. I read that someone mentioned an e-book version of them, which as a last resort I would probably be willing to do but I would prefer the paper versions. I have pretty much all of the books that I could ever get in the US back when they were still being printed but when they stopped being available I pretty much stopped looking. Now I am in the mood to read more of them since I have learned that there were a few more that were written that I never got the chance to get. My first Lone Wolf book ever was #11, didn't know what it was before then. This was over 10 years ago now, but I liked it so much I got the rest of them starting with #1 so I could do them all in order. I also got the Grey Star World of Lone Wolf books, the Magnamund companion, and the first few Legend of Lone Wolf books (up through Hunting Wolf). I only went through the Legacy of Vashna in the gamebooks as that was the last one I could find. If anyone knows where I can get the other Legacy of Lone Wolf books (and yes I have read some of the opinions that they aren't spectacular from some of the readers out there but I still would like to have the opportunity to read them) I would love to find out where I can get them from. Thank for the info and sorry about the really long post.

Thanks for the info, I had checked ebay earlier and couldn't find any on there. I did check the link that was just posted and at first was discouraged that it was only the first few of the Legends series because I already have those. The very last page of listings did have some of the newer ones but I don't think I can justify paying the $50 and up prices for them. I want to read them, just not That bad. I will continue to check around to see if I can find them somewhere else for a more reasonable price. Thanks

My mum bought me numbers 3 and 4 of the Legends series online, and I just got them today.

Try Amazon. I recently found The Rotting Land for a stupendously cheap price. It was in good nick as well. I prefer the second hand section of Amazon to Ebay. Bidding is too hit and miss sometimes.

Yeah. Man, I'm reading the 3rd book and Captain Kelman is freaking funny. "By the intestines and belly of Naar!"

Yeah, pity he dies and turns into a zombie.
That'll teach him to beat me at chess.

The e-book version isn't available anymore because some wazzock was selling burned CDs on eBay.

That's because book 2 or 3 (I don't remember which one) was splitted into two books for the US market. Someone that knows more about the series will tell you which book was splitted, but I can already recommand you to buy the UK version: you'll pay just one book instead of two and you'll find the same story in it!

The Sword of the Sun (based on FotW as the list said) was split into pre- and post-Ragadorn. No idea why.

Ask the book's company. They made Joe and Paul do it. Bastards...

Well, this is America for you. They're probably the same people that buggered up the GM series so badly. I now have complete copies of both the UK and US books 1-20 and, it has to be said, that the UK versions are universally better quality, larger, more colourful and (in the case of the GM books) not abridged!
