Prelude Deceit was, as the name suggested, a prelude to Deceit by Peter Darvill-Evans. It did not appear in the published novel.
Summary
On Arcadia, the Head of the House of Delahaye, the oldest surviving colonist, writes down his thoughts before dying of cancer at the age of thirty-eight. He is worried about the power of the Corporation and how the younger generation has no idea what the corporation can do. He muses that nothing can help unless someone just happens to land on Arcadia by accident.
