It's 1998. the world is a mess. And the telecommunications industry in Australia is out of control.
Bob Cheshire, a manger with Comlink, is trapped by a dilemma. The organization is in a crisis and he is under mounting pressure to speed production of a revolutionary new product.
But Bob lacks faith in the solution he is directed to adopt. He believes it will result in destruction of the embattled organization. Bob sets out, a reluctant adventuer, to discover how Comlink can stay alive -- and meet the challenges of the future.
The Prelude is Bob's quest: the story of an organization struggling, and the lives of the people fighting for it.
