Taken from project Aon
Joe Dever has revealed that the title of Lone Wolf book 29 will be The Storms of Chai. No further details are known at this time.

BTW how did you hear about this ? Like so: This could be interesting. We haven't seen anything of Chai, as far as I remember. |

This could be interesting. We haven't seen anything of Chai, as far as I remember. Game book #27 ends in Chai and game book #28 starts in the Chai capital Pensei. Perhaps a third of book #28 is spent in Chai escaping before the advancing Bhanar armies. The demise of Sejanoz will likely have consequences. The Khea Khan of Chai is very old in book 28. Perhaps he dies and leaves his grand-grand son, who is not yet an adult to succed him. |

Gaah, you really make me regret the gaps I have in my LW collection  I would have really liked to know more about Chai and play the last book. Still quite far to go for Mongoose until they get to book 28... You think PA will beat them to it by uploading the old book? |

EDIT: Done...

From my meeting Joe at salute he did mention this book and 30 where linked together so it will be the start of a new story arc, probably. |

Still quite far to go for Mongoose until they get to book 28... You think PA will beat them to it by uploading the old book? Your best bet to get more knowledge of Chai is for Mongoose to release Collector's Edition of Book 29 and 30. If you have the Mega-deal, I guess you could expect the first book during the summer. If you don't have the Mega-deal then you will be able to purchase Collector's Edition of Book 29 -32 a couple of months after the Mega-deal subscribers have got them. (Mega-deal customers got these books earlier as a bonus which was part of the deal.) If you wait a couple of months longer, there may be paperbacks of them as well. There was a small tantalizing interview detail of the interview which is now nearly one year old (but never published) which mentions the establishment of a Kai Monastery in Southern Magnamund. I guess with book 29 and 30 in this area, Chai or one of the surrounding friendly lands (i.e not Bhanar) sound as a good candidate. |

Wasn't there mentions about this book set in telchos? Or maybe it's the whole adventure that will bring us to Telchos, but not exclusively there. I suspect that it will be some kind of trip across Southern Magnamund divided in two parts, like books 21 and 22 are.

Oooh!! Nearly 25 years after the series was first published, we're finally starting to see news of its culmination? Wow!  |

I suspect that it will be some kind of trip across Southern Magnamund divided in two parts, like books 21 and 22 are. That seems plausible to me too. After all, if this next book both continues the Chai involvement and the plot and is somehow connected to Book 30, then one might speculate that the death of Sejanoz has unleashed something particularly nasty in Southern Magnamund (that was about the only rationale I have ever been able to come up with for why an author would want to kill Sejanoz so "soon" in the New Order series). If one assumes the Telchoi to be one of the oldest civilizations in Southern Magnamund and considers how old Sejanoz was (and how even older Agaresh was), then it makes a certain sense that a quest to at least learn what was unleashed might eventually end in Telchos (after a perilous two-book journey there). |

I like this idea. We've just killed Sejanoz and now there's some storms in Chai... Oh... I just thought of something... Book 16: storms in Magador because someone is trying to resurrect Vashna. Could it be...? There are trying to resurrect Sejanoz or... Agarash?!? Anyways, I'll copy/paste your idea in the thread that is on PA about the possible storylines for the remaining 4 books: projectaon.proboards30.com/index.cgi?board=general&action=display&thread=140EDIT: Say, someone should go and modify the Wiki entry for Joe Dever with the name of the new book, plus the mention of the novels. |

Honestly, my money has long been on Agaresh, ever since I first got my hands on the New Order series. The indicators, starting with Book 21, have always been towards him as the "final" enemy, at least in my opinion.

Id second that bet Maerin, Agarash does seem the most likely end combatant at the end of book 32. Still, the implications of raising Agarash are huge, I mean this guy took down Nyxator (eventually). Could this mean a quick re-gathering of the Doomstones, of those that are left? Since Agarash created them, he should be able to instinctivly detect their location,no?

My prediction: The series will culminate in Book 32 with a combat against an enemy who has more CS and EP than you.  |
