Your Call Is Important To Us

Welcome (back) to the Bunker, an orderly, underground utopia where everyone's needs have been satisfied.

Barney Max is a trustworthy citizen with an impeccable record of achievement. Having attained two promotions to Delta clearance, he has every reason to expect he'll advance higher up the ladder. After all, the Bunker is the perfect place to live. Overseen by Control, a fatherly (if at times overzealous) computer, only the worthy make it to the top while the social deviants are mercilessly weeded out.

But one daystretch on his way to Mars for an interplanetary conference, he finds himself added to the Thousand Most Wanted List. For no apparent reason at all. And he's allowed to walk free.

Thus begins Barney Max's unexpected and entirely unwelcome journey. Deprived of his daily comforts, chased by a persistent headache (not to mention armed guardians from Defense, a secret society of vengeful cybots, and an angry mob of former employees), he is forced to confront a reality he has struggled his whole life to deny.

The second in the Bunker series of sci-fi adventure novels, Your Call Is Important To Us can be read independently, although it is best enjoyed in the company of its predecessor, Thank You For Your Cooperation.
