Adaptations?

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I've toyed with the idea of a film adaptation of the first two Soldier books that takes place entirely in Latro's memory palace.  He wanders the palace touching items, recovering segments of memory.  The memory scenes are elliptical and need not be in chronological order.  Thus the disjointed narrative of the books is preserved.

Traduttore, traditore.

This approach might actually work better as a video game.
