Twelve thousand years ago, they came. They descended from
the sky amid smoke and fire, and created humanity and gave
us rules to live by. They needed gold and they built our
earliest civilizations to mine it for them. When they had
what they needed, they left. But before they left, they told
us someday they would come back, and when they did, a game
would be played. A game that would determine our
future. This is Endgame. For ten thousand years
the lines have existed in secret. The 12 original lines of
humanity. Each had to have a Player prepared at all times.
They have trained generation after generation after
generation. In weapons, languages, history, tactics,
disguise, assassination. Together the Players are
everything: strong, kind, ruthless, loyal, smart, stupid,
ugly, lustful, mean, fickle, beautiful, calculating, lazy,
exuberant, weak. They are good and evil. Like you. Like
all. This is Endgame. When the game starts, the
Players will have to find three keys. The keys are somewhere
on Earth. The only rule of their Endgame is that there are
no rules. Whoever finds the keys first wins the game.
Endgame: The Calling is about the hunt for the
first key. And just as it tells the story of the hunt for a
hidden key, written into the book is a puzzle. It invites
readers to play their own Endgame and to try to solve the
puzzle. Whoever does will open a case filled with gold.
Alongside the puzzle will be a revolutionary mobile game
built by Google's Niantic Labs that will allow you to play a
real-world version of Endgame where you can join one of the
lines and do battle with people around you. Will
exuberance beat strength? Stupidity top kindness? Laziness
thwart beauty? Will the winner be good or evil? There is
only one way to find
out. Play. Survive. Solve. People of
Earth. Endgame has begun.
