Book Description

Best Seller (Debolsillo) March 3, 2009
Nueva York, 1972. Catherine Velis, aficionada a las matemáticas y al ajedrez, trabaja en una auditoría como experta en informática. La firma la destina a Argelia, pero, antes de partir, una vidente le lee las líneas de la mano y le advierte de que un grave peligro se cierne sobre ella. Poco después, un marchante de antigüedades hace a Cat una misteriosa oferta: un cliente suyo está intentando reunir las piezas de un antiguo juego de ajedrez que presuntamente se encuentra en Argelia. Si Cat le consigue esas piezas, obtendrá a cambio una generosa recompensa. Sur de Francia, 1790. Mireille de Rémy y su prima Valentine son dos novicias de la abadía de Montglane. Francia arde en las llamas de la revolución que, entre otros proyectos, pretende aniquilar a la Iglesia y hacerse con sus tesoros. Enterradas desde hace mil años bajo el suelo de la abadía se encuentran las piezas de un ajedrez legendario, que perteneció a Carlomagno. Quien consiga reunir dichas piezas adquirirá un poder ilimitado. Y para mantenerlas fuera del alcance de quienes pudieran abusar de él, Mireille y Valentine deberán repartirlas por todos los confines del mundo. «Una de las pocas narradoras contemporáneas que supo salpicar sus obras de las dosis justas de esoterismo, historia oculta y misterio, mucho antes de que esos ingredientes fueran mezclados en otros cócteles notables.» Javier Sierra

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic!, July 24, 2004
This is the spanish version of Neville's book called _The Eight_ in English. I read it years ago but I still recommend it to people as one on the most absorbing reads. She is a master at the twisted plot. A bonus for chess fans but even if you're not it doesn't detract from the story.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sobresaliente, September 16, 2004
Definitivamente es el mejor libro que ha escrito K. Neville, dificilmente lo podrá superar. Le pasa lo mismo que a García Marquez con Cien Años de Soledad. Un libro con una riqueza de información y un manejo del enigma extraordinario. Definitivamente lo recomiendo como una de las mejores alternativas de lectura disponibles. Vale la pena

5.0 out of 5 stars Inmortalidad: La jornada final, December 31, 2003
Este libro me encanto, sus mas de 800 paginas llenas de accion y eventos que te mantendran leyendo hasta el final.
Neville ha combinado historia y ficcion en forma extraordinaria, todos los personajes estan tan bien definidos que te hace pensar dos veces si esta es una historia real o no.
Mirielli y Cat en diferentes periodos de tiempo enfrentaran los mismo peligros, miedos y tentaciones, ambas se ven envueltas en la busqueda del codigo de la Inmortalidad escondido en el ajedrez de Montglane. Muchas personas lo buscaran pero muy pocas tendran el coraje, destreza, genio para no ser eliminadas.
