We have arrived at the very last Fighting Fantasy book in the main series. What a wild ride it has been. The only question that now remains is whether Tomb of the Golden Skull by Ian Livingstone with art by Karl Kopinski is a worthy note for the series to conclude on. Also I share some thoughts about the series as a whole in a bumper set of closing remarks. There’s also a small surprise revelation.
Episode 75 - Shadow of the Giants
We’re edging ever closer to the end of the Fighting Fantasy series with Shadow of the Giants by Ian Livingstone with art by Mike McCarthy. Giants. Big lads. Hefty fellas. They’re a problem for Allansia and it’s basically all your fault. Can this book break away from the very settled template Ian Livingstone has had for his more recent work? Listen along to find out.
Episode 74 - Secrets of Salamonis
It’s time to bid a fond hello to one of the original creators of Fighting Fantasy as we enjoy Secrets of Salamonis written by Steve Jackson with help from Jonathan Green and art from Tazio Bettin. This is Jackson’s first Fighting Fantasy book since Creature of Havoc way back in 1989. Is this a triumphant return to the genre that he helped define? Listen along to find out.
