I have finished reading Legends of Lone Wolf book 4 (Hunting Wolf). The route that John Grant took wasnt the most optimal in terms of looting. Nevertheless, the story was well written indeed! I am glad that I own the red fox version of Hunting Wolf. Most collectors own the Beaver edition.
Sometimes, I wonder if it is possible to trace the exact route that John Grant took from Lone Wolf gamebooks 1 to 8.
I have Legends of Lone Wolf Books 1 to 10. I only read part of Book 1, the entire book 4 and three-quarters of book 10. Reasons for Coming Back is memorable!
Book 11 (Secrets of Kazan-Oud) and Book 12 (Rotting Land) are extinct from eBay UK and Aussie.

From what I understand, Joe did help determine which route the books followed from the gamebooks and then John took that and did... whatever with it. I actually really like Eclispe of the Kai and the characterization of everyone in there. I was surprised when the trends started in that book seemed to take a whole new direction in book 2. Alyss, who was mysterious, quirky, and a touch mad in book 1, suddenly became an annoying know-it-all who was always right. Lone Wolf, who was brooding and grim in book 1, became dumb and unsure. Banedon, who was in over his head but handling it as best he could, suddenly became really headstrong and snobbish. And then a bunch of new characters showed up to overshadow the old ones (Quinnefer, some barbarian dude, etc). It was hard to read for me after that. Maybe today I'd like them more. Maybe I'd like them less!
