«El Vuit» is the mystery and adventure novel by Katherine Neville, published in paperback by Suma de Lletres Catalana (832 pages, in Catalan).
The plot alternates between two eras: in 1972, computer expert Catherine Velis becomes involved in the search for an ancient chess set with extraordinary powers; in 1790, during the French Revolution, a young novice discovers that her abbey hides that same chess set, whose power attracts historical figures such as Robespierre and Napoleon.
It is the first instalment of the «The Eight» series. The English original, «The Eight», was published in 1988; this Catalan edition came out in 2002.
Aimed at readers of historical thrillers and adventures, with a dual timeline and chess as the connecting thread.
Katherine Neville is a New York Times, USA Today and #1 internationally bestselling American author who writes adventure/quest novels. Her novels include The Eight (1988), A Calculated Risk (1992), The Magic Circle (1998) and The Fire (2008), which is a sequel to The Eight.
