I really enjoyed the "Gonji" series.I thought it was better than much of what I read back in the 80's. I have always wondered if there was an idea of reprinting them or re-issuing them as a package set in Hardback.?

Hi, Dean. Thanks for the interest!
As you no doubt are aware, the five extant novels of the Gonji series, originally released by Zebra Books in the 1980s, are all available in handsome re-issued editions (and Kindle and audio books) from Wildside Press. I've tweaked and expanded all of them. So those are the authorized editions.
The latest book, DARK VENTURES, features the only two shorter Gonji stories, a definitive series creation/publication history, and a teaser excerpt from the coming Gonji origin epic, BORN OF FLAME AND STEEL.
The listing of the books here at Goodreads is kind of chaotic, and I'm not sure how to straighten it out. Here are the Wildside titles, available at Amazon, in the order I'd recommend reading them:
DARK VENTURES
RED BLADE FROM THE EAST
THE SOUL WITHIN THE STEEL
DEATHWIND OF VEDUN
FORTRESS OF LOST WORLDS
A HUNGERING OF WOLVES
You can check out my Amazon Author page, which lists them a little more coherently. Friend me (as "Ted Rypel") on FB. There's also a "Gonji Fictional Character" FB page, with pix and info. And you can read a sample chapter from the DARK VENTURES anchor story at BookDaily.
No current plans for a hardcover release. But that would be grand!

If this has already been asked I apologize, but I've always felt that the Gonji series would make a great film or TV series, especially now in the era of CGI. I've thought that Keanu Reeves would be great for Gonji. Has there been talk about a film and who would you like to play the title character or others?
