By the author of The Eight. Reprint. NYT. AB. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - This is more of a historical novel than you might suspect!The first book I read by the author was The Eight, which I thought was terrific. The biggest problem I had with this one is how dated it's gotten...some of the background needed for the plot to work just hasn't held up over time. If you can suspend your judgment on that it's not a bad read. But if you've read The Eight, you're likely to be disappointed.

Katherine Neville has written three well researched, interesting, novels and this is my favorite. I hope she writes another one SOON! Rating: - The last oneDefinitely the last book of Katherine Neville, first of all let me tell you that if you decide to read this book, the story that is written in the beginning of every part of the years 1800, just skip it, don't worth it your time. The second point that is at the very beginning of the book is that when you are going to find a new job, please don't tell me that your future boss will call to your actual job to ask about you, is obvious that your actual boos won't say anything good about you.
