    About this ebook

    Harold Whittman never makes decisions. His medication, work, food and sex life are all laid out for him. He is a drone in a sea of drones.
    But not all is as it appears in the serene surroundings of Sector VII and soon Harold will find himself caught up in a chain of events that will force him to snap out of his malaise and to make decisions that will have consequences to not only himself but to all those around him.
