Before Dan Brown’s Da Vinci Code, there was The Eight. The figure eight refers to the infinity symbol, an arcane formula hidden in the scattered chess pieces of the Montglane Service, an ancient artifact owned by Charlemagne. The race to decipher the secret is played out as an epic chess game across time (1790s and 1970s) and space (three continents).
I am looking forward to read The Fire (to be released on 14 October 2008), Katherine Neville’s sequel to The Eight. The Game resumes thirty years after the events in the first book. This time, the origin of the mystical chess set will be revealed.
