Jett: The Far Shore launched October 5 for Sony Playstation and PC on Epic Games. With a November 30 pub date, this book offers a rare opportunity for fans to learn about the making of the game almost as they play it. Jett: The Far Shore trailer: https://www.playstation.com/en-ca/games/jett--the-far-shore/ Superbrothers’ previous game, Sword and Sworcery, was a huge hit, and one of the first “indie games.” It sold millions of copies around the world. Hammond was an insider throughout the creation of the game and offers a rare and candid take on the long history of this game’s production. He also looks at Jett within the history of the art form of videogames. Revelations of sexual misconduct being widespread at Ubisoft mean we’re in a moment of reckoning for the videogame industry and its gender politics. Unlike many videogames, Jett isn’t violent or misogynist.

This book covers more than a hundred years of chess in the Civil Service, with information about the clubs, the individuals, the events they contested, the successes, and the arguments that sometimes resulted. Clubs regularly featured leading players of the day and the Civil Service representative team frequently beat strong counties in 50-board matches, as well as participating in a mammoth 500-board match against the rest of England. Names of chess clubs bring a whiff of nostalgia, with India Office, War Office and Civil Service Rifles no longer in existence. Leading players served their country not only in their departments, but at establishments like Bletchley Park in the Second World War. Several civil servants represented their country in international matches. Over a thousand players participated in the league at one stage.

In 2006, Johnny's pie-in-the-sky dreams of becoming world champion were dashed when his kings ran into aces in the World Series of Poker Main Event. But lady luck was with him when he met Amy, the woman of his dreams, who soon became his wife. Like many players, he drifted away from the game after Congress passed a law later that year that cut off funds to online poker and harkened the decline of the game. But even as Johnny returned to the working world, the itch remained. A decade later, now with two small kids in tow, Johnny convinces Amy to take a six-week family trip from their home in rural Alabama to Las Vegas, where he will risk his $10,000 bankroll in hopes of playing in the Main Event again and winning millions. Along the way, he examines how the game has changed since 2006. Although the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act was the beginning of the end of the poker boom, the game still thrives, and WSOP is Exhibit A. Johnny also muses on the outlandishness of the adult
