No Pain, No Game

Beschreibung

What would it take for you to endorse human torture? What if it were for the greater good? ...Are you sure?¿ In this alternate version of modern-day Britain, sky-high crime rates and a state of economic crisis mean people live in a climate of fear - while yearning for change, hope and justice. To tackle the nation's prison overcrowding issue, Sean Cravanaugh, a fearsome television magnate, has devised a radical and controversial solution: a live televised show, pitching selected convicted criminals against one another in a series of dangerous and painful challenges, a fight for their lives and a rare chance at freedom. In the world of 'No Pain, No Game', Sean Cravanaugh decides who lives or dies. With his razor-sharp instincts for deciphering and manipulating people, he takes us on a journey bound to make us question our own sense of morality. No Pain, No Game follows the intertwined paths and struggles of those who find themselves, willingly or forcefully, entangled in the show. They lead us into a world of pain and trickery, where nothing and no one truly is the way they seem. Can they cope with the nation's anger and hatred, standing as they do in the eye of the storm?¿¿Who will lose everything, and who will come out unscathed?
