The Thief

Gameshouse Novella 2

The Gameshouse is an unusual institution.

Many know it as the place where fortunes can be made and lost through games of chess, backgammon -- every game under the sun.

But a select few, who are picked to compete in the higher league, know that some games are played for higher stakes -- those of politics and empires, of economics and kings . . .

In 1930s Bangkok, one higher league player has just been challenged to a game of hide and seek. The board is all of Thailand -- and the seeker may use any means possible to hunt down his quarry -- be it police, government, strangers or even spies . . .

Reseñas de la Crítica

"An astonishing re-invention of the time travel narrative. Bold, magical and masterful."—Mike Carey, on The First Fifteen Lives of Harry August

Book 2 is Just as Good

Interesting new characters while the overall mystery of "what is the gameshouse" continues. A worthwhile listen.
