Scorpion Swamp

You're no fool. All your life you've heard tales of Scorpion Swamp and how it is criss-crossed with treacherous paths leading to the haunts of its disgusting denizens. One step out of place spells a certain and lingering death. But now, the swamp holds out the lure of treasure and glory -- and you cannot resist the challenge!

Interestingly enough, the first book in the series that wasn't written by Steve Jackson (UK) or Ian Livingstone was penned by another Steve Jackson (USA).
