Dead in the Deep is the 30th entry in the Lone Wolf series and the first to be published following Joe Dever's death.
Winner of the 2019 LGL award for Best International Gamebook. Written by Joe Dever's son Ben, and collaborator Vincent Lazzari, using extensive notes and hours of dictated instructions from Joe in the weeks leading up to his passing, Dead In The Deep is the first posthumous Lone Wolf book and forms the beginning of the end of the epic saga begun in 1984.
Plot[]
Grand Master Steel Hand, a powerful warrior of the New Order Kai, has disappeared in the ruins of the ancient Lyrisian city of Emolyria, which teeters on the brink of Maakengorge. This accursed place has become the largest mustering point for the servants of the Dark God Naar.
In Dead in the Deep, you must enter Emolyria’s vast dungeons unnoticed. The Brotherhood of the Crystal Star and the Sages of Varetta can help to clear the path, but you alone must walk it. In the depths of the Chasm of Doom lies a terrible but forgotten power. Burning and hungry, it is fed by the endless pain of the Restless Dead, making ready to rise from the Maakengorge and consume the Freelands of Magnamund. What dark secrets will you uncover in the abyss? Will you find your brother Kai alive? Will you succeed where he has failed?
Kaum Before the Storm[]
Dead in the Deep features a bonus adventure called Kaum Before the Storm, written by August Hahn and edited by Vincent Lazzari. It focuses on Kai Grand Master Blazer's mission to Cincoria, assigned by Lone Wolf at the start of The Storms of Chai.
