Synopsis

"When Mycroft Holmes is murdered in London, it is up to retired shadow executive Smith to track down his killer - and stumble on the greatest conspiracy of his life. Strange forces are stirring into life around the globe, and in the shadow game of spies nothing is certain. Fresh from liberating a strange alien object in Abyssinia - which might just be the mythical Ark of the Covenant - young Lucy Westerna, Holmes' protégé, must follow her own path to the truth while, on the other side of the world, a young Harry Houdini must face his greatest feat of escape - death itself.

As their paths converge the body count mounts up, the entire world is under threat, and in a foreboding castle in the mountains of Transylvania a mysterious old man weaves a spider's web of secrets and lies.

Airship battles, Frankenstein monsters, alien tripods and death-defying acts: The Great Game is a cranked-up steampunk thriller in which nothing is certain - not even death.

Goodreads review by Nicky on April 15, 2013

The number of literary references dizzy and delight me, but somehow don't make up for the fact that I'm still left with so many questions. This trilogy is a lot of fun, quick-paced and full of allusions and minglings of history and fiction and a possible future. There are some great kickass female c......more

Goodreads review by Benjamin on July 27, 2019

The third novel in the “Bookman Histories” trilogy is not content to merely wrap things up and provide explanations for everything that has come before. It does bring the major intertwined story plots to a close but leaves plenty of things for readers to think about. This third book begins as a spy n......more

Goodreads review by Gary on July 08, 2012

I enjoyed the first two books in the series a great deal but this one gets 3 rather than 4 stars because of the disjointedness to the storyline. There are some good characters and the start is very reminiscent of a cold war thriller - which is good in my books - but the characters don't get develo......more

Goodreads review by Andrew on March 31, 2015

The Great Game is a story of spycraft and intrigue set in Tidhar's Bookman world, a 19th century alternate history with lizard monarchs, alien devices and literary characters roaming the streets. That name - the Bookman - draws attention to the sort of characters we're dealing with here - literary b......more

Goodreads review by Dawn-Lorraine on March 28, 2013

Though still enjoyable, this third book in the series dragged along at times. It is a classic espionage plot, which means there's a slow build and not a lot of action until approaching the climax. But there are so many recognizable characters here, some of whom carried over from the earlier novels.......more
