''Case White'' was to be Victor's novel about the aforementioned eponymous event, however sadly Victor passed away before he could finish it. In the obituary that was posted on BattleTech's official site it was stated:

* BattleTech-related [[:Category:Works by Victor Milán|works by Victor Milán]]
{{blockquote|Sadly, Victor passed away before he could finish his take on ‘Case White,’ which I’m sure would have been incredible. We have a partial manuscript in hand, however, and after a re-evaluation of the situation, I plan to take steps to have it completed by another author so we can bring Victor’s last BattleTech story to the fans. I just wish I could have helped him shepherd the rest of the novel to completion. And unfortunately, we will also have no more BattleTech stories from one of the true masters of the BT universe.
