''The Grand Wheel'' is the eighth science fiction novel by Barrington J. Bayley. The novel follows Cheyne Scarne, a professor of "randomatics", as he is selected by the eponymous organization (which holds a galactic monopoly on games of chance) to represent humanity in a card game with infinitely varying rules. The name of the main character appears to be a reference to John Scarne. ==Literary significance and reception== Rhys Hughes, in his survey of Bayley's work, described ''The Grand Wheel'' as an "entertaining gambling novel" with a "seedy and elegant" atmosphere.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Annihilation Factotum: The work of Barrington J. Bayley )〕 Colin Greenland, writing in ''Foundation 18'', received the novel negatively, saying that it had been produced for the market and "would have been old in 1957".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Astounding Worlds of Barrington J. Bayley )〕
