Excerpt from Up Against It Dan Randall shoved his chair slowly back from the table, gripping the edge of it tightly between his fingers as he did so. His face had gone white, his jaws were set, and his eyes were hard. They had glittered with the utter cold of restrained anger since the last half hour. The sensations produced by the extremes of heat and cold are much the same, although their manifestations are different. It was the latter that affected Randall, at that director's meeting. There were eight others present around the big table of solid oak. He was the ninth. One of the eight had betrayed him, and had been betraying him, systematically and methodically, for weeks and months, had betrayed his friendship, his trust, his confidence. The other seven had followed meekly (or purposefully, it did not matter) in the wake of Ace Wadleigh - his friend. His friend! It had been hard for Randall to believe. The full realization of the treachery of which he was the victim had come slowly. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
