I was looking on the Scumm Bar main page yesterday, and I couldn't find a link to the MI novel. And some more searching didn't turn it up either.
So, does this mean the old novel is now officially retired - if it is I must have missed that announcement. Or will it be returning in the future?
I don't think there were any announcements, but the novel hasn't been updated in about three-four years. It can safely be considered retired at any rate.
