Island of the Undead was in between.<br /><br />This one definitely followed the formula that you need every item in the world, meaning you visit almost every page in the world. The amount of combat was tiresome (yeah I know it's <b>Fighting</b> Fantasy) and there's at least one critical bug (a wizard's name in a puzzle).<br /><br />A decent book, though a tedious one.<br /><br />http://www.fightingfantasyfan.info/island-of-the-undead/FightingFantasyFanhttp://www.fightingfantasyfan.info/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-89408109763133021332014-09-05T08:52:24.261+12:002014-09-05T08:52:24.261+12:00Island of the udead is a good book with interestin...Island of the udead is a good book with interesting story explaining the downfall of the wizards when they start to experimenting with the undead, especially the greater ethereal undead with intelligence.<br /><br />It is a long book though. This i would agree with you. If you visit the quest location at the right sequence and select the right questions to ask you would appreciate the big pictures of the story better.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14106860522593958501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7215693550440664594.post-10313412475974917122009-01-22T23:27:00.000+13:002009-01-22T23:27:00.000+13:00Basically in all the later Keith Martin books you ...Basically in all the later Keith Martin books you have to explore nearly every nook and cranny to stand a chance - you actually did pretty well to get so far without proper weapons. Still, I like the story in this book - I think it's intriguing enough to stop the gameplay becoming too tiresome.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
