Actually, I think that was a standard for Sejanoz. I believe it was mentioned before to have the wrong map, bigger text, and less pages.
If I'm wrong, than I'm staying away from buying that one. It's cursed!

Yeah, as Zipp said, 300 Sections in THoS is correct (it evens out the 400 in SotS, right? :-( )
We surmised on this board some months ago that the missing 50 sections probably contained foreshadowing for what was to occur in Book 29, but then Dever was told the series was ending so he had to tie things up in a rather pat way. :-(

i think it's either in the last entry like past books, or in the Carrying over of Disciplines part of the rule section, cant rememeber precisely.

Joe wasn't aware that they would be cancelled till near the end of writing Sejanoz. Besides, he also coveted dreams of brining the Lone Wolf series to another publisher. He still does want to do this.

There is reference to future books in some of the frontmatter, but I get the idea that the frontmatter was carried over from the last book except for some additions, such as new Improved Disciplines and New Order Wisdom. There is a sentence about improvements and items being brought to the next adventure, but no title of course. The reason I think it was forwarded from the last book is because it says 'if you finished books 21-26 in the NO series' during the game rules section (I paraphrased this). I don't remember seeing anything that would imply a next book forthcoming, although like Zipp says, Joe would like to finish the series when he gets a publisher. Let's hope that happens soon! ;D

Though, remember, as I asked JD at the Mongoose convention, he said that he wasn't going to finish them until he retired. Though, that said, I'm not sure how you are supposed to retire from being a best-selling writer and THEN write four of the most eagerly anticipated books in modern history! NS.

I wonder about no publisher is out there to print these books again.
There are many people willing to pay 100€ + for the last book so i should be a worthwhile job.
My Seller hasn"t answered until now, so i lodged a complaint at Paypal.
I think other people would act so ealier.

Isn't Joe already retired? I mean, what's he written lately?
And Einsamer, that is really too bad. I was hoping you wouldn't get screwed by the guy. Still, you seem to have covered all of your bases, so hopefully you can get your refund.
Just remember everyone, the sooner you act, the better.
~Zipp, who knows far too well what is to be screwed over

I wonder if the Greatest Fans of LW get to bask in the awesome presence of the Great God Kai when they die. That would be awesome.
The bad part - you would have to look at the faces of everyone you killed, too.

finally the story goes to an end. I"ve got my money back - just a small lost for return the book to the seller and Paypal changing money twice. And i managed to get a flawless book... searching the whole internet for "sejanoz" every day I made some photos before returning the misprint book: lonewolf.home.tlink.de/As i am good-natured i will give a "neutral" Ebay assessment even communication was slow.

Wow. That's the most I've ever seen of one of this forum's actual body. We now know what Einsamer's fingers look like, and are in the process of tracking him down.
On a serious note, I'm happy you were able to get the refund. And the right book besides! Good going.
