Book excerpt: YOUR CALL TO CTHULHU IS IMPORTANT TO US. PLEASE HOLD. Of all bureaucracies, corporations are the most powerful, seeming to have a life and will of their own. Privately held with multi-national reach, seemingly bottomless resources, and armies of lawyers jealously guarding trade secrets, corporations fiercely resist any attempt to change or regulate them. Anything and everything is justified by the bottom line. Who needs a Cthulhu Cult when you've got Cthulhu, Inc.? Into this insidious world are thrust our heroes - the curious, the puzzled, and the frustrated. Defying authority, seeking answers they'd be better off not knowing, the secrets they discover threaten their sanity and their lives. Will they become the next whistleblower media hero? Or the next no-call-no-show their coworkers promptly forget? Remember: it's nothing personal - just business. Including twenty-five tales from writers including DJ Tyrer, Peter Rawlik, David Tallerman, Gordon Linzner, Adrian Ludens, and many more!
