Šeldonov Gospodar igre jedan je od vodećih romana u svetu triler žanra. Knjiga prati razvoj porodice Blekvel kroz šest generacija, koristeći restrospekivni metod pripovedanja kroz lik glavnog junaka - Kejt Blekvel. Izuzetno sposobna i beskompromisna u ostvarivanju sopstvenih ciljeva, Blekvelova je uspela da očevo nasleđe pretvori u svetski značajnu imperiju.

Slaveći devedesti rođendan, Kejt počinje da se priseća svojih poslovnih uspeha, razvijajući tešku istoriju Blekvelovih. Imala je samo jednu želju - da osposobi svoje naslednike da dostojno preuzmu porodično ime i bogatsvo kompanije. Njena želja i narav toliko su jake, da su budućim naslednicima oduzimale prava na sopstveni identitet. Protiv takve vrste dobronamere agresije, naslednici su se borili na svoje načine, gubeći se u sopstvenim svetovima (poput sina koji je okončao u psihijatrijskoj ustanovi), do razvijanja u nasilne ili sasvim samostalne i od porodice nezavisne ličnosti (što su bili životni putevi unuka Kejt Blekvel). Nakon neverovatnih poslovnih dostignuća i brojnih porodičnih tragedija, čak i moćna Kejt Blekvel počinje da se pita, da li je moguće postati gospodarom igre, ili svi imamo granice ličnih mogućnosti...
