Many know it as the place where fortunes can be made and lost though 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 . . .
And now, the ultimate player is about to step forward.

Beautiful and gripping
Simply brilliant. The trilogy is comprised of three novelettes... each with a different narrator, setting and - wonderfully - tense. All three feature players in the enigmatic Gameshouse - a location/organisation for those that gamble, and gamble to win...The Gameshouse, as a whole, is one of the best books of the year - a subtle masterpiece that deserves to sweep all the chips from the table.
An astonishing re-invention of the time-travel narrative. Bold, magical and masterful
Beautifully written and structured . . . a remarkable book
Utterly readable, utterly believable and compelling . . . one of the fiction highlights of the decade
