Foreword:

I AM NOT THE AUTHOR. This story is copyright 1996-1997 Larry Mann.

This is one of the best pieces of fan fiction out there (in my opinion). However, it seems to have disappeared off the face of the 'net. As a service to all X-Com fans (and people who enjoy good fanfics), I decided to repost it here.

Update: Mr. Mann recently e-mailed me, giving me permission to post the story here.

In addition, he has also kindly provided a couple of links to his current work:
