Some Consortium members comply, but many don't. The Eight Team have a huge job on their hands. There are enemies around every corner .The story  twists and turns, insisting that you keep your wits about you. Often (I hope) it will make you smile; but sometimes, in places, much like the world we all live in today, I must confess it makes me cry.
