Majstor igre

Sidney Sheldon

The Game Master (1982) follows four generations of the McGregor/Blackwell family, focusing on Kate Blackwell, the powerful matriarch of the Kruger-Brent multinational. The Game Master is one of Sheldon's greatest literary hits.

The novel begins on Kate’s 90th birthday, where she recalls her family saga of ambition, power, and intrigue. The story begins with her father, Jamie McGregor, who travels to 19th-century South Africa in search of fortune in the diamond fields. His rise from poverty to riches lays the foundation for Kruger-Brent. Kate takes control of the family empire, facing challenges in a man’s world. Her struggle to preserve her legacy involves manipulation, secrets, and conflicts with her own children, especially her daughter Eve and granddaughter Alexandra, whose fates are shaped by their dark past.

The novel explores themes of greed, betrayal, and power, with elements of the thriller genre—murder, blackmail, and family drama. Kate, a strong and complex heroine, leads the company through wars and economic crises, but her obsession with control leads to tragic consequences.
