The Cauldron of Fear is the ninth book in the Lone Wolf book series created by Joe Dever. Starting with this book, long-time illustrator Gary Chalk was replaced with Brian Williams.
[edit] Gameplay
This book is arguably more linear than some of the previous books, including some sections which offer relatively little choice to the user (i.e. no real branches in the text). It also has arguably the hardest encounter for characters who have gone through the entire series to this point.
[edit] Plot
As Lone Wolf races to recover the remaining Lorestones, he learns that the next resides deep underground, beneath the streets of the town of Tahou. Unfortunately, the war against the Darklords has not been going well, and Tahou is now in danger of falling even before Lone Wolf even reaches it. If it falls before the Lorestone is recovered, the chances of success are slim.
