''Bloodbones'' is a single-player roleplaying gamebook written by Jonathan Green and illustrated by Tony Hough. It forms part of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone's Fighting Fantasy series. The book was notorious for being the "lost" Fighting Fantasy gamebook, written during the books' original run but not published until 2006. It would have been 60th in the series in the original Puffin series had it been published at the time, and is 26th in the modern Wizard series. ==Creation and publication== For a long time ''Bloodbones'' was considered to be the "lost" Fighting Fantasy book; however, little was known regarding ''Bloodbones'' prior to 2001. Rumours correctly suggested Jonathan Green was the author of the book and there were also a wide variety of supposed publication dates ranging from 1995 to more recent years. Light was finally shed on the mystery in 2001 when Jonathan Green wrote a letter to a Fighting Fantasy fan containing details of the book. It was to be 300 paragraphs long, and was to be the first in a revamped Fighting Fantasy series in an attempt to re-connect with the young audience after later entries had become more complicated. The book concerned the player's quest for vengeance against the undead pirate Cinnabar, who was nicknamed Bloodbones. Green stated that he was disappointed to hear of the series' cancellation as ''Bloodbones'' was his personal favourite of the gamebooks he had written and had plot outlines for several more. It would have been illustrated by Mike Posen.〔 (【引用サイトリンク】title=Letter from Jonathan Green on the AMYLASE website ) 〕 In 2002 Wizard Books began reprinting many of the original Fighting Fantasy gamebooks, and at one point the official website featured a poll calling for fan requests with regard to upcoming reprints which included ''Bloodbones as one of the possible answers. ''Bloodbones'' was finally published in 2006, now a full 400 references long. The author has stated that this was the length he always intended it to be.〔 〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bloodbones」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
