Rand and Robyn Miller both wanted to develop "Myst"s back story into novels. After the success of "Myst", publisher Hyperion signed a three-book, US$1 million deal with the brothers. David Wingrove worked from the Miller brothers' story outlines. The three books - "Myst: The Book of Atrus", "Myst: The Book of Ti'ana", and "Myst: The Book of D'ni" - were released in 1995, 1996, and 1997, respectively. The books were later packaged together as "The Myst Reader". A fourth novel, "Myst: The Book of Marrim", was planned but has not surfaced.
