21 of 22 people found the following review helpful. Masterful suspense By Betty Ridge I've been a reader and fan of William Bernhardt for decades, since I first picked up one of the early Ben Kincaid novels.But I've never been into games since I stopped playing Monopoly and Clue as a pre-teen, so I admit I had my doubts at first about The Game Master. Would it be full of gaming trivia that would turn me off? Not so. Bernhardt pulls the reader in with the first chapter about a young woman running for her life. As the plot develops, the game becomes one threatening human existence, with continual plot turns and settings that take the reader around the world.Bernhardt, best known for his Ben Kincaid series of legal thrillers (and I'm not the only one eagerly awaiting Ben's promised return), has displayed his versatility with such works as Nemesis and Dark Eye. The Game Master once again proves this writing master's ability to spin a plot that keeps the pages turning — or, in the Kindle version, tapping the screen to move to the next one.My recommendation? Read it and enjoy finding out for yourself how the game master reacts to each dilemma he encounters.

A Page-turner for a Snowy Day -- or Any Day By Julia Harmon William Bernhardt’s latest thriller, The Game Master, came to me at a time when I was ready for a break from my usual reading practice. I have been reading (and enjoying) The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins and Edge of Eternity by Ken Follett on my Kindle and both are fairly lengthy.When The Game Master appeared, I decided to devote all of my time to it, also putting aside my regular nonfiction, periodical and writer-related reading – I was on a reading vacation. What I didn’t anticipate was that I would get so caught up in the story that I would let some other things slide, including getting ready for company and a typing project with a deadline. But vacations (and snow days) are times when you suspend the rules and enjoy yourself and that’s what I did.I am not a heavy reader in the thriller/mystery genres. I read fairly complex character-driven literary or general fiction usually about families or friendships. I was a bit concerned about writing a review for a book that I might not like. I like to consider my reviews as recommendations; I will rarely finish a book that I wouldn’t recommend. I needn’t have worried.If you have an interest in games, modern or ancient, this book will keep you engaged. (My one criticism of the book is that the cover, which pictures a chess board, may be misleading. I am not a chess player and was afraid that I might be left behind – no worry.) An interesting exercise for the Bernhardt family might be to guess the number of games that are mentioned and/or described in their father’s book. Expertise in all the games is not necessary because diagrams guide the reader.Thrown in for good measure are action scenes that take place in the Bibliotheque nationale de France and the Bibliotheca Alexandrina. What more could a librarian/bookwoman ask for?The answer, of course, is a great story – one which keeps you turning the pages from the beginning, when the “Game Master” sets out to rescue his kidnapped daughter at any cost, until the end, when the world is seconds away from the apocalypse and it seems that no human can turn it around. We are introduced to world figures who bear an uncomfortable likeness to those who have their hands on the controls of our planet, whether by destiny or design. We learn a little about mathematics and game theory and philosophy. And we experience (probably without noticing) excellent pacing.I sat in on a writer’s conference session by William Bernhardt where he introduced the story arc, and led us through the parts of a novel and where suspense and tension should build to the climax. I don’t remember him using a particular novel to illustrate, but would suggest that The Game Maker would be good suggested reading before participation in such a session. Or for a snow day. Or on a vacation. Or a long weekend . . .
4 of 4 people found the following review helpful. An intricate puzzle-mystery wrapped in a doomsday thriller By Kevin Calvey Great read! Better even than the author's excellent Ben Kincaid legal thrillers. A swaggering chess and poker master uses his expertise to solve clues to find his kidnapped daughter, only to find himself drawn into geopolitical intrigue with frightening technological implications. Evocative of The Name of the Rose, The Da Vinci Code, or even some Agatha Christie and Dorothy Sayers mysteries, in the intricacy of the clues, but with a faster-paced thriller story. Even if you don't like chess, SCRABBLE, puzzles, or card games, The Game Master is a grand champion!
