One night, Karl witnesses a CEO’s adulterous affair on the sixty-seventh floor at Global-Com and is thrust into the middle of murder and corporate blackmail.

Customer Reviews

an entertaining read
It doesn't look like the person who wrote the above review even read the book, so I thought I would offer a perspective on the actual writing. I found some of the stories in the book to be really ingenious. "The Quiet Couple" gives a wonderful, realistic perspective on interaction in relationships, and the dialogue is entertaining and fast-paced. I also liked "The Kirabati Test," a light science fiction story with an innovative premise. The stories are a little uneven in parts of the collection and cover a variety of genres, but that also shows the author's range and potential. Overall I found the book very entertaining.
