Voyage of the Moonstone is the twenty-first book of the award-winning Lone Wolf book series created by Joe Dever.
Gameplay[]
Starting from this book, the reader plays as a new player character called Grand Master (an anonymous second-person narrative name), who is a protégé of the previous player, Lone Wolf. Grand Master will develop as a Kai Grand Master, just as Lone Wolf did in the Grand Master series, but Grand Master starts as a fresh character, not possessing items such as the Sommerswerd. Additionally, the combat results table is different in this series — combat is easier for Grand Master, compared with Lone Wolf, for the same combat ratio.
Lone Wolf books rely on a combination of thought and luck. Certain statistics such as combat skill and endurance attributes are determined randomly before play (reading). The player is then allowed to choose which Kai disciplines or skills he or she possess. This number depends directly on how many books in the series have been completed ("Kai rank"). With each additional book completed, the player chooses one additional Kai discipline. In this first book, the player starts with five disciplines.
Plot[]
The Moonstone is a legendary artifact that was created by the godlike Shianti. It contains the might of all their magic and wisdom, the sum of their divine knowledge. Lone Wolf - Supreme Master of the Kai - has succeeded in retrieving it from the clutches of Naar, the King of the Darkness.
Now the Moonstone must be returned to its creators who are exiled upon the remote Isle of Lorn in southern Magnamund. Someone must take the fabled artifact to the Shianti and Lone Wolf has chosen you, his most promising disciple among the ranks of the New Order Kai, to carry out this vital mission. Armed with the special weapons and skills of a Grand Master, you embark upon a secret voyage to the distant Isle of Lorn. However, your mission becomes a life and death struggle when you encounter intrigue and danger en route.
