Alex Tur

For the first time in a long while, the Hotel is at peace. The Game has gone quiet, the cataclysms have stopped, and Alex's team has allowed itself what it couldn't afford for years - an ordinary life. Work, home, a holiday. Right up until the day a man who has no business being there sits down at their table in the bar and asks a question: "So? Are you buying the hotel?"A nameless Player has surfaced in the Game.
He appears in no registry, operates with unprecedented cruelty, and lies beyond the reach of the arbiters. The Curators no longer control the Rules, the old methods of disqualification don't work, and weapons confer no advantage. The rumors that the new adversary has no vulnerabilities turn out to be true. Alex finds that out after he has already agreed. There's no backing out now - and the Player's target is him.
