fast moving

i think it is a good book like all the lonewolf

The book that started me on Joe Dever

This was about my third gamebook and up till then I was bored silly by other pretenders. I found this book simply brilliant and still read it 7 years later. It has a range of excitement going from nerve racking nail-biting stuff to simply lunch time relaxed reading. The characters are of Hercules proportions and have in depth feel as if you were there in that day and age.

one of the best fighting fantasy books ever!!!

The LoneWolf series created by Joe Dever are probably the best fighting fantasy books ever written. The book #2 that is Fire on water is far better than the first one Flight from the Dark. Book #1 was too easy and short ,it took me about 40 minutes to finish it but it took me more time to finish book #2 that's just because it's much better than the first one. You'll become immediately addicted when you start reading the book, there are so many possibilities in different kinds of environment. I read it over and over again without gettting bored it's so brilliantly written. Dever takes you to a world that you are eager to explore and you won't stop until you've examined every single square feet with a magnified glass therefore I rate this book 10 it's simply the best.

El apogeo

Este libro se podría decir que marca la pauta de la historia de toda la serie. Y es posiblemente el mejor. Un escenario perfectamente ambientado, que nos depara numerosas sorpresas. La variedad de situaciones, barco, desierto, pueblo, tunel, batalla naval... le concede un densidad admirable. Aún así a todo el que lo lee se le hace corto, no teniendo más remedio que engancharse al siguiente libro.

The quest for the Sommerswerd

Fire on the Water is one of the best books in the Lone Wolf series for a number of reasons. First...the involving storyline. While reading this book, I actually felt drawn into the world of Magnamund more so than in the first book. Every plot-twist and crucial desicion pulled me farther in. The book begins with you, Lone Wolf, last of the Kai Lords, about to embark on a quest to recover the legendary Sommerswerd, the Sword of the Sun. Only a handful of your ancestors have wielded this magical blade, and you need it to repel the hordes of Zagarna, Lord of Kaag and the leader of the evil armies assailing Sommerlund, your home country. This adventure takes you across water, wasteland and whatever else you need to go over to get to Durenor and recover the Sword. Aided by few allies against innumerable foes, you must succeed in brining the legendary artefact home, lest your country fall to the might of the Darklords. Only you can suceed...you are Lone Wolf
