Book Description

Publication Date: 5 Sep 2005

One of Sidney Sheldon’s most popular and bestselling titles, repackaged and reissued for a new generation of fans.

Kate Blackwell is one of the richest and most powerful women in the world. She is an enigma, a woman surrounded by a thousand unanswered questions. Her father was a diamond prospector who struck it rich beyond his wildest dreams. Her mother was the daughter of a crooked Afrikaaner merchant. Her conception was itself an act of hate-filled vengeance.

At the extravagent celebrations of her ninetieth birthday, there are toasts from a Supreme Court Judge and a telegram from the White House. And for Kate there are ghosts, ghosts of absent friends and of enemies. Ghosts from a life of blackmail and murder. Ghosts from an empire spawned by naked ambition…

Sidney Sheldon is one of the most popular storytellers in the world. This is one of his best-loved novels, a compulsively readable thriller, packed with suspense, intrigue and passion. It will recruit a new generation of fans to his writing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great Sheldon tale of greed, lust, and vengence 1 Dec 2004
By Kona TOP 1000 REVIEWER VINE VOICE
Format:Paperback
Sidney Sheldon's story of big business, lust, greed, and revenge spans four generations, starting with Jamie McGregor, who leaves Scotland in 1850 to strike it rich in the diamond fields of South Africa. He overcomes many hardships, becomes a millionaire, and starts the Kruger-Brent company. His daughter, Kate, pushes the company until it becomes a world-wide conglomerate, and moves her headquarters to America. To her chagrin, her son Tony wants to be a painter, not a businessman. His twin daughters, Alexandra and Eve, are as different as can be. One of them may be a killer...
The book is absolutely riveting, with Jamie's adventures putting him in a new danger on every page. Kate, the so-called Master of the Game, spends most of her ninety years buying and manipulating everyone in her path, in her relentless search for a worthy corporate successor. As in all of Sheldon's books, there is action, suspense, romance, and memorable characters that his fans are sure to enjoy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sidney Sheldon's Master of the Game 5 Dec 2010
By Monty Carlo
Format:Paperback
I bought this book as I had already purchased "Sidney Sheldon's Mistress of the Game" by Tilly Bagshaw which is the sequel to Master of the Game. I had read Master of the Game about 20 years ago and could not remember any of it. I was not disappointed! This book had me gripped from start to finish as it had all those years ago. Fantastic book and I would definately recommend it!Sidney Sheldon's Mistress of the Game

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful story 28 Jun 2005
By Sancho Mahle
Format:Paperback
I fell completely in love for the first time with Sheldon's style of writing with MASTER OF THE GAME. It is a beautiful piece of saga full of characters that are movers of the movers and the spices of survival. Human emotions are succinctly dissected, emotions that range from hatred, love, anger, jealousy, lust, etc, and when combined with the beautiful story line brought out such a beautiful story. Reading the older Sheldon novels merely confirmed my belief that he is a great writer.

This book attracted me to other sagas that are centered on a strong family legacy such as DISCIPLES OF FORTUNE,THE GODFATHER, KANE AND ABEL, TRIPLE AGENT. I am looking forward any time to other new works by Sidney Sheldon.
