About this ebook
Erwin Richter, surveyor for hire, scoured dark crevices of the net in service to major corporations. Upon revisiting a back door he established during a former assignment to Silica Corporation, Erwin donned his virtual avatar and crept quietly through layers of files to stumble upon a virtual shaft of projects buried in a forgotten file tree. What secrets did the corporation decide to forget?

Erwin Richter, age 24, a surveyor for hire who scours the dark crevices of the net. Erwin normally utilized his talents as a paid service, rather than charity, but today he decided to spend his free time investigating a little nook he’d since gained access to from a previous job. Back doors were part of the position, only technically criminal, though they served to keep his neck attached to his head.
