Question about "Flight From the Dark"

[wonderfly]

Sorry if this has been answered elsewhere, but will "Flight from the Dark" (the expanded 2007 edition) ever come to Project Aon?

Because except for the new books being released following Joe Dever's passing, I think the 2007 edition may be the only thing not on Project Aon...am I right?

Any help would be appreciated, sorry again, it's been a few years since I stopped by Project Aon, and I'm getting caught back up.

That and the bonus adventures.
Not sure about the copyright for those... the original authors?

If the whole Holmgard Press edition really is going to be printed (I doubt it), then probably not. Otherwise, why not I guess, just up to Project Aon to ask for the rights then.

It would be great if this could be added to Project Aon (and thus also Seventh Sense), even if it had to be put behind a paywall or otherwise made available for electronic purchase as opposed to being made freely available like the rest of the material. Given how hard it is to obtain the book in print form, I am sure there would be demand for purchasing an electronic or online version.

Well, I guess "The Storms of Chai" was published before Joe Dever passed away, and it's not on here either...

So Project Aon has Lone Wolf Books 1-28, all of "Grey Star the Wizard", all of "Freeway Warrior" and stuff like the "Magnamund Companion", etc...

I guess another way to look at it is that Project Aon has everything "Lone Wolf" or "Joe Dever" related prior to the 2007 "reboot" of 'Flight from the Dark', is that correct? And everything post-2007 is NOT on here, right?

Correct.

I believe you can purchase the collector's edition of Flight from the Dark on Amazon as an e-book. Here is the link:

www.amazon.com/Flight-From-The-Dark/dp/B005C6AYVW/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1498155394&sr=8-11&keywords=lone+wolf+flight+from+the+dark

I haven't tried this myself, but it pretty clearly says that it is the collector's edition. Not sure if you get the bonus adventure or not. Only the first three books were released in this format, but at least you can experience the expanded story in Flight from the Dark without shelling out big dollars for a physical copy.

Really hoping that all of the collector's editions are made available again, physically or digitally, for purchase. I missed most of them the first time around, but would go all in on a new printing.

Is the e-book version only viewable on an Amazon Kindle or can it be read on a PC or Android phone?

[spartanroarke]

I haven't purchased these editions of the books, however most Kindle books can be read on PC and many other platforms as well (I don't own a Kindle, but read most of my Kindle purchases through a Kindle App on the Ipad and it works just fine). The Lone Wolf books in question do use a special system that tracks your health, combat damage, etc., and so my concern would be that this may not function properly on some devices.

If anyone gives it a try, I would be curious to know how well it works, and if it is readable/playable on non-Kindle devices.

Also, does anyone know anything about how the first three books came to be published in this format, and then nothing after?

I have a vague recollection that Mongoose wanted to convert all the books to Kindle but the nature of game books made the conversion process time consuming and too expensive for a small company like Mongoose. They certainly had plans to spread the love for Lone Wolf as far as they could but never quite managed to pull of a paperback deal for distribution to bookstores.

I too can read Kindle books in my Android phone.
