Description from the Back of the Book

Once Upon a Time...

In the time before Amazon, Ebay, or even Google, there was a consumer software company, started by a husband and wife team, that dominated the charts over a nearly twenty-year period.

Sierra On-Line should have lived forever.

This is the untold story of how Sierra was born and how it died. This fairy tale does indeed have a wizard and a princess. But it also has corruption, greed and frightening characters.

UNTIL EVIL INTERCEDED..

Not all evil is hiding in the dark.
Sometimes it lurks where you least expect it.

Ken Williams
