About This Item
Ballantine Books, 1990. Very Good. A crisp clean softcover, no markings throughout: Katherine Neville's debut novel is a postmodern thriller set in 1972 ... an d 1790. In the 20th century, Catherine Velis is a computer expert with a fl air for music, painting, and chess who, on her way to Algeria at the behest of the accounting firm where she is employed, is invited to take a mysteri ous moonlighting assignment: recover the pieces of an old chess set missing for centuries. In the midst of the French Revolution, a young novice discovers that her ab bey is the hiding place of a chess set, once owned by the great Charlemagne , which allows those who play it to tap into incredible powers beyond the i magination. She eventually comes into contact with the major historical fig ures of the day, from Robespierre to Napoleon, each of whom has an agenda. The Eight is a non-stop ride that recalls the swashbuckling adventures of Indiana Jones as well as the historical puzzles of Umberto Eco which, since its first publication in 1988, has gone on to acquire a substantial cult following.
