Tie-In Novels

The story continues.

New fiction set within this universe has been in active development. Nine stand-alone novels range from hidden incidents during the original run through the decade after it, each exploring a different corner of the world. Some of these titles have appeared earlier in limited form through Studio Remarkable Books. Others are plotted, drafted, or in active development. All are in progress toward either revised relaunches or initial releases.

The Quest cover Declassification Pending

Timeline unresolved

The Quest

A naval adventure set entirely outside the Earth timeline. A long voyage across an unmapped sea toward a destination the crew is not allowed to name.

Whether it connects to the wider story at all is the question the book refuses to answer. The signs are there for those who look. Nothing is confirmed.

Escape from Dover cover Declassification Pending

1986

Escape from Dover

A long-haul trucker and his teenage nephew pull off the interstate into a small New Mexico town that has gone completely silent. No people, no animals, engines still running in the empty road.

What they find beneath the town is a sealed facility, and a trail of clues that points toward a program nobody in any official capacity will admit exists. By the time they understand what they have walked into, leaving is no longer an option.

Downland cover Declassification Pending

1990

Downland

Three rural teenagers chasing a lost dog through a collapsed culvert fall into a world that exists beneath their own. Vast caverns, oversized insects, lost technology, and the wreckage of an expedition that went down years before them.

Somewhere in the dark is the military team that never came back, and the reason a quiet stretch of farmland sits on top of the most dangerous door on Earth.

Another Life cover

1992

Another Life

A teenager wakes up inside a life that is not his own, in a place that should not exist. The switch was not supposed to happen. Going back may not be possible. And a man named Jai Lei seems unsurprised by all of it.

The first published novel from Studio Remarkable Books. The seeds of a larger world were planted here.

High Octane cover

1994

High Octane

A federal agent working a routine narcotics case follows the money further than anyone asked her to. Out of the streets, past the cartels, into a financial architecture that has no business being this clean.

The structure she uncovers belongs to an organization that does not launder money so much as conduct it, and the methods will look familiar to anyone who knows how ENIGMA prefers to work.

Battle World I: Found cover

1995

Battle World I: Found

Three brothers vanish from a rural highway in the middle of an argument and wake on a planet that should not exist. Red sky, twin moons, and the distant silhouettes of machines the size of buildings.

The power cells scattered across the surface are the only thing keeping them alive, and the only thing every other survivor is willing to kill for.

Limited Release
Battle World II: Children of the Bridge cover

1995

Battle World II: Children of the Bridge

A farm kid who has never left his county finds a structure in the back forty that was not there a season ago. A bridge between worlds, half buried and humming.

High Stakes cover Declassification Pending

1997

High Stakes

A bioweapon thought destroyed a decade ago resurfaces in a private collection, and the bidding war that follows draws every interested party out of the shadows at once.

Upon a Star cover

1999

Upon a Star

A teenager from rural Nebraska is taken from Earth by a civilization that has been quietly watching humanity for longer than recorded history.

They did not choose him at random, and the training program he has been recruited into is only the surface of something far larger. The people who built it built nearly everything he is about to learn to question.
