“Fantastic end-of-the-world science fiction, which also perfectly captures the experience of living in NYC as a struggling 20-something-year-old. Think The Twilight Zone meets Friends…” – Kate Danley (USA Today bestselling author of The Woodcutter and Maggie for Hire), Kindle Daily Post (“Underrated SF&F”).
Alan Lennox has been assigned yet another soul-crushing temp job, keeping him from his first loves – drinking, playing video games, and looking for a boyfriend. But Alan’s new job proves to be anything but boring when his co-workers start turning up dead. The mysterious megacorporation Amalgamated Synergy has taken a deadly interest in Alan and his three roommates, and the hapless quartet are woefully unequipped to deal with the psychotic secretaries, murderous middle managers, and villainous vice-presidents hunting them down.
Their investigation leads them deep into Amalgamated Synergy’s headquarters, but can Alan and his friends stay alive long enough to discover who – or what – waits for them on the top floor?
