Bill Scully and Fox Mulder investigate a series of grisly murders on the high seas (well, okay, on Chesapeake Bay).
BOOK TWO: Seven Days in November
Bill Scully returns to Washington, and finds himself caught up in another X-File -- but this time the situation could have profound consequences for the future of the United States.
BOOK THREE: Almost Midnight
Fox Mulder and Tara Scully combine forces to solve a mutual problem. However, in the course of the investigation they discover that there is far more at stake than they had originally suspected.
BONUS EXTRA DELETED SCENE: Nightmare
Bill Scully, jr., has a nightmare. This was originally written as a chapter in "INSURMOUNTABLE OPPORTUNITIES"; It turned out not to be appropriate for several reasons, but I am nevertheless proud of this bit of writing, and feel that it can stand alone. [RATED NC-17]
Can Mulder win over the overprotective big brother, Bill Scully? Bill, and Tara, end up involved in various adventures alongside Mulder and Scully. It's an interesting concept to see the changing interactions and growing trust between Mulder and Bill Jr when they're forced to endure each other.
There's a teensy bit of a crossover in the first story, with a character whose name might be recognisable to some. Also, for the dinosaur nerds, I'm excited to have discovered that the Brontosaurus has existed again since 2015 and I don't need to bite my tongue whenever it's mentioned. The story of the Brontosarus/Apatasaurus is quite interesting, so if you want a brief rundown on the controversy, this video covers it all pretty well.
