Colin Harris is your typical twenty-something stuck in a dead-end job. He joined Dark Enterprises, humanity’s oldest and most dangerous corporation, for the usual reasons: immeasurable power, staggering wealth, maybe the chance to rule the world someday. After spending two years as a lowly data analyst in Human Resources, however, Colin now faces early retirement. He has one week to turn things around or he’s going to be terminated. Like, terminated.

Desperate, he makes a deal with a mysterious entity and secures the promotion he’s always wanted. The catch? He’s loosed a ravenous supernatural monster on an unsuspecting world, which probably isn’t great. Worse, he’s met an incredibly hot guy who just might be the love of his life, and that makes looming global annihilation pretty inconvenient.

With the clock ticking down to the end of everything, Colin sets out to save the world. It’s the ultimate power move. Along the way he’ll have to impress his new boss, outwit a few homicidal coworkers, keep his job a secret from his best friend, and survive a pair of lurking assassins. It won’t be easy, but such is life in Dark Enterprises—if the deadlines don’t kill you, something else probably will.
