WARNING! Under no circumstances must employees strike a deal with unauthorized personnel on Dark Enterprises property. Such behavior may result in death…or the end of the world.

Colin is a low-level employee at Dark Enterprises, a hell-like multinational corporation solving the world’s most difficult problems in deeply questionable ways. After years of toiling away in a cubicle, he’s ready to climb the corporate ladder and claim the power he’s never had.

The only problem is, he’s pretty sure he’s about to be terminated. Like, terminated. That’s tough, because his BFF has just set him up with a great guy. In fact, maybe he’s a little too great. And asks a lot of questions . . .

When Colin meets a shadowy figure promising his deepest desire in return for a small, unspecified favor, he can’t resist the urge to fast-track his goals. He asks for the one thing that will improve his life: a promotion.

But that small favor unleashes an ancient evil. People in New York are disappearing, the world might be ending, and Management is starting to notice. Getting to the top is never easy, and now it’s up to Colin to save the world. It’s the ultimate power move, after all.

"WARNING! If encountered by any unauthorized personnel or otherwise in Dark Enterprises's company elevators, take extra precaution and do not engage or enter into any deals with them. Any such behavior could result in world destruction. Colin, a lowly employee at Dark Enterprises, a Hell-like corporation solving the world's most difficult problems in the most questionable ways, is ready to start exerting his own power...at the top of the corporate ladder. The only problem is he's pretty sure he's getting fired (aka killed because no one gets an exit interview at DE). Tough, since his bff has just set him up with a great guy...maybe a little too great...and he weirdly likes corporate life. When Colin meets a shadowy figure promising his heart's desire if he agrees to a small favor, he can't resist the urge to fast-track his goals. He asks for the thing anyone would in this situation-a promotion. But that small favor unleashes an ancient evil. People in New York are disappearing. The world might be ending and Management is starting to notice. The ladder to the top is never easy and now it's up to Colin to save the world...or at least get a bonus for doing so"-- Provided by publisher.
