 SilverCrater Mission Briefing

Writing of the Mole Saga began in the 1980s, but only one book was ever published, the first edition of Just Mole. After dusting off floppy disks and print manuscripts in storage for 15+ years, we bring the Mole Saga back back to life and proudly give Tripp’s work the recognition it deserves.

Doing this is far from easy. Things have changed since the 1980s, and reimagining the Mole Saga for a modern audience requires us to create full-page color illustrations for both print and digital editions of each of the four books. The first volume is Young Mole, published in May 2025 and available now in print on Amazon.
