About the book: year / The island is a place officially located outside the human community. No laws apply here except the laws of nature and show business. A twenty-first century Colosseum in which prisoners who choose to participate in the Game instead of the death penalty or life imprisonment fight each other for the amusement of spectators around the world. The bet is life. The reward is a complete amnesty and a million dollars. Victory is impossible. That was until a new, special player arrived on the Island. Spectators will remember this round of the Game forever.
