To Your Last Death

Synopsis

● "Miriam DeKalb heads up a non-profit which promotes global peace initiatives. This is in reaction to her estranged father--billionaire sociopath war profiteer Cyrus. When he learns he is dying, he calls Miriam and her three siblings together, and what he has planned is to pronounce judgment on them all. They are, in his view, traitors, and he has elaborate death traps planned for each of them. However, a race of intergalactic gamblers who wager on human conflicts as bloody sport have chosen Miriam as their protagonist for this match. The entire situation is being manipulated by the Gamemaster, who has the power to reverse time and reconfigure events as they play out. Miriam is sent back into the arena for another go at the night of terror, this time with foreknowledge giving her a fighting chance." ― paraphrased from this book's product page on Amazon.com as of 2024-10-21.
