[edit] Plot Summary

Journey with Agent Arthur into the mountains to stop the Spider Organisation from hatching their plans for global domination.

[edit] Availablility

This is the only Puzzle Adventure out of print. It had a very limited print run in 1996, and unavailability in shops resulted in low sales[1]; it therefore has never been considered viable for republishing. A search of 25 of the UK's online County Council library catalogues was performed in June 2003[2], and the only extant entry found was at Aberdeen Library; however the book was no longer available and the catalogue had not been updated[3]. The author still has his file copy[4].
