Description
In 2203, humanity’s supreme leader is selected through a deadly lottery-like contest governed by the enigmatic Quizmaster Verrick, making chance the official foundation of political power. When unemployed technician Ted Bentley joins Verrick’s organization, he is drawn into a conspiracy surrounding the rise of Leon Cartwright—and a plan that could reshape the balance of the universe. Blending political intrigue, assassination plots, and inventive future technology, the novel questions whether fate is truly random or merely manipulated by those who understand the game. With its sharp social satire and unsettling exploration of power, identity, and control, it showcases the imaginative, psychologically charged style that made its author a defining voice in science fiction.
