The Returners is a novelization of this game. The underlying story really captured me as a child, but in truth, the writing and dialog were limited by the technology of the period (1994). I always filled in the blanks with my imagination, though, and thought it would make for a wonderful novel… if only somebody would write one.

I started with the first short story, Operation: Tritoch, and then decided to move forward with additional chapters. After a certain point, some readers expressed interest in buying paper copies of the work, so I looked into getting the rights. My queries were met with denial, however, so I decided to wrap up the story at a good stopping point. I’ve not received a cease-and-desist yet, so I’ll keep this page up until that time comes. I hope that you enjoy reading this as much as I enjoy writing it.

DISCLAIMER: This is written for an adult audience, and should be regarded as equivalent to an R-rated movie. This story takes place during a time of war, and as such, contains violent and otherwise unsettling material.

I have made the entire story available as either a PDF or ePub, just click the links.
