8的秘密

「密碼元素小說」始祖！1000萬愛書人讚嘆20年的鉅著！

這是由黑夜與白晝交織而成的棋盤。上帝主宰著棋士，棋士就是祂的棋；而是誰在上帝的背後，布局這場無涯的時空、更迭、幻夢與苦惱？

18世紀末，「8」名修女誓言守護神秘棋組而慘遭封口；20世紀，一名擁有「8」字掌紋的女電腦專家，獲選成為揭開神秘棋組面紗的關鍵人。

這場以真人布局的神秘賽局一旦啟動，眾人都沒有喊停的權利！封藏千年的神秘棋組，究竟隱藏什麼樣的驚人力量與玄機，值得人們縱橫古今、橫跨歐美非各洲，前仆後繼的探索與犧牲？

史無前例！結合歷史文明、神秘科學、政權謀殺、迷離情愛……多重元素的奪棋賽局，自法國革命時期引爆，延燒至20世紀的紐約，迫使封藏千年的秘密震撼重現！

The globally bestselling thriller that paved the way for THE DA VINCI CODE and countless copycat conspiracy novels. In the 8th century AD Ibn al'Arabi, the Moorish governor of Barcelona, bestowed a magnificent gift upon Charlemagne, Holy Emperor of half of the known world: a chess set with the power to transform the course of history. New York City, 1970. Catherine 'Cat' Velis, a computer expert working for one of the world's largest accountancy firms, is sent on a dangerous assignment to retrieve an object of immeasurable value from somewhere in the remote reaches of Algeria. Montglane Abbey, France 1790, Mireille de Remy and her cousin Valentine are young novices at the fortress-like Montglane Abbey. With France aflame in revolution, the two girls burn to rebel against constricted convent life - and their means of escape is at hand. Buried deep within the abbey are pieces of the Montglane Chess Service, once owned by Charlemagne. Whoever reassembles the pieces can play a game of unlimited power. But to keep the game a secret from those who would abuse it, the two young women must scatter the pieces throughout the world...

凱瑟琳．納薇禮　Katherine Neville 的第一部小說《８的秘密》已被翻譯超過三十種語言；西班牙大報《El Pals》所做的全國民調中，該書獲選為十大首選小說之一。她的第二部作品《A Calculated Risk》，獲選一九九二年紐約時報年度好書。第三部小說《The Magic Circle》，是USA Today暢銷書，也榮登法國、西班牙及澳洲十大排行。

為了準備《火的秘密》的寫作素材，凱瑟琳於柏林圍牆倒塌時，前往北德居住，並到鐵幕國家如俄羅斯、捷克及斯洛維尼亞等國探訪考察。此外，也常拜訪北非、法國與西班牙的巴斯克語區。由於凱瑟琳長年於伊斯蘭教國家居住工作，曾獲邀參與土耳其政府為神祕派詩人魯米，逝世727年紀念會，此為極高殊榮。現在凱瑟琳多半居住於美國維吉尼亞和華盛頓。

Katherine Neville is the author of The Eight, The Magic Circle (a USA Today bestseller), and A Calculated Risk (a New York Times Notable Book).
