Testimonials

“Boy, I don’t know, reading a bunch of emails sounds like a long slog  In no time I was hooked and it read like a true mystery novel. I thought the conclusion would be the typical American ‘Happy Ending’ with Dave Powers getting the CEO’s job as sweet revenge for Dave, and appropriate justice for Richard Nichols. But, alas, it was as messy as real life and people limped off to do the best they could.”

-Ron Glass

“A real-life ‘The Office.’ Ride along as an outsider, and learn how hard it is to be an insider. I found the characters believable, and not always ones you could be sympathetic with, and that the ‘plot’
was totally plausible with alliances, backstabbing, triumphs and tragedies of real business life, as well as life in general.”
