nx74defiantThe Player of Games
Gurgeh is a sucessful game player. Special Circumstances asks him to travel to the Empire of Azal, a brutal, powerful empire, to compete in the game of Azal, a game so complecated that the winner becomes the Emperor.
Is it just about a game or does Special Circumstances have an agenda that Gurgeh doesn't know about?
I really enjoyed this book.
My favorite Culture ship names in this book are:
Of Course I Still Love You
Just Read the Instructions.
Favorite Quote:
"Does Gurgeh really understand what he's done, and what might happen to him? Has it even begun to occur to him that he might have been tricked? And does he really know what he's let himself in for?
Of Course not!
That's part of the fun!
