I have books 1-21 of Lone Wolf but not book 22, Voyage of the Moonstone. From what I heard about the book though you do not play as Lone Wolf. Rather you play as one of the aspiring kai lords of the New Order. If that were the case than I think book 22 should be book 1 of some other series, perhaps a New Order of the Kai series. As it is, I do not think it is time to retire Lone Wolf. If Lone Wolf ever does retire it should end with him taking on Naar directly and perhaps even destroying him and obtaining godhood, or something like that.

Well, strictly speaking, if you have book 21, it is actually that book that starts you with a whole new Kai Grandmaster other than Lone Wolf.

What I meant to say was book 21, which is Voyage of the Moonstone. I got a bit confused and was thinking that Curse of Naar was book 21 but now I see its book 20.

In Books 20-28, you play as one of the New Order Grand Masters. And I quite disagree that it wasn't time to retire Lone Wolf. He'd done about as much as reasonably possible without being hugely and overly powerful.
Personally I'd have rathered the NO books be about a Kai Master rather than a Grand Master - but obviously this didn't fit in with the story that JD wanted to tell, so I'm quite happy to live with that.

Maerin grins. In the spirit of my response to chris777 above, I will now point out that it is actually books 21 through 28 where you play a New Order Grand Master. Yes, I am already aware that Ghost Bear really does know this; I just cannot resist the symmetry of repeating the above correction.

Ha! That's a good mistake in the context of the thread. I like it.

I've never been too chuffed with the whole New Order GM thing, firstly because playing an unspecified person of no real character is a disappointment after the long saga of Lone Wolf, and partly because Grand Master seems to be becoming the Super Saiyan of Magnamund - everyone can do it, more or less. Having some youth hitting GM level so easily is almost an insult to me personally, after all the effort I put into getting Lone Wolf there.

I definitely agree with Emrys. Having LW be a GM was alright, because we knew (very first hand) the amount of trials and tribulations he had to face to get there. But once they started popping up all over, you sort've felt like the point was lost. What in the hell could evil hope to do against an army of GM's?
