(Publisher’s Weekly, Oct 27)

The Fire is Neville’s long-awaited sequel to The Eight, published 20 years ago and boasting sales of more than 1.5 million copies (500,000 in the past eight years alone).  Both books are about the quest for a mystical chess set that once belonged to Charlemagne and could change the course of the world.  PW’s starred review for The Fire noted: “Despite the staggering amount and quality of the research, nothing feels shoehorned or extraneous.”  Ballantine reports more than 188,000 copies in print, and Neville is doing a 15-city tour.
