Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World
Colin Gets Promoted and Dooms the World | Mark Waddell

WARNING! Under no circumstances must employees strike a deal with unauthorized personnel on Dark Enterprises property. Such behavior could result in deathor the end of the world. Colin is a low-level employee at Dark Enterprises, a Hell-like multinational corporation solving the worlds 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, hes pretty sure hes 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 him his hearts deepest desire, he cant resist the urge to fast-track his goals. In return for a small, unspecified favor, 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 its up to Colin to save the world. It's the ultimate power move, after all.

Mehso-so

This was okay, kinda fun. But Colin, the main character, was weirdly vapid. It‘s like he didn‘t see anyone around him as real, and had no curiosity about them except if they directly interacted with him in a way he benefited from. He starts the book that way and ends the book that way. I don‘t know if it‘s on purpose or not.

This blends darkness with humor effectively. I mostly enjoyed it, though the pacing dragged in several spots and I found my attention wandering. Still, it's a solid effort that some readers will absolutely love.
🎙️•Pete Cross's narration suited the story and character perfectly.
