The Way of the Tiger was a wonderful gamebook series back in the 1980's written by Mark Smith and Jamie Thomson. It was right up there with Lone Wolf on quality. One of the rare gems that could easily have been overlooked among the slew of Fighting Fantasy books available at the time.
You are Avenger, a ninja trained in the Way of the Tiger, a lethal master of unarmed combat who must confront ultimate evil to avenge the death of your foster-father.
After defeating Yaemon, grandmaster of the flame, and reclaiming the scrolls of Kettsuin, our hero must return these sacred texts to the monastery from which they were stolen upon the island of tranquil dreams. This task will not be easy as there are many forces of evil arrayed against him.
