About this listen

In 2203 anyone can become the ruler of the solar system. There are no elections, no interviews, no prerequisites whatsoever - it all comes down to the random turns of a giant wheel. But when a new Quizmaster takes over, the old one still keeps some rights, namely the right to hire an unending stream of assassins to attempt to kill the new leader.

In the wake of the most recent change in leadership, employees of the former ruler scurry to find an assassin who can get past telepathic guards. But when one employee switches sides, troubling facts about the lottery system come to light, and it just might not be possible for anyone to win.

Brilliant

For all Philip K dick fans this is where you start he knows how to write a good story and pull you through a complex world of science fiction with very engaging characters. Superbly read by David de Vries who brought the characters to life. 5 STARS A Robertson

Sphincter Lottery

The underlying themes of ambition, paranoia and self destruction are clearly evident here... but little else. One of Dick's first works so we'll let him off but really not a great representation of what he went on to become.
