Summary: 3 Stars
The Fire
By Katherine Neville
A copy of this book was received from the Early Reviewers Program of LibraryThing. The story was interesting because it took the reader through many countries that I have visited; Italy, Turkey, United Kingdom, Canada, Greece, France, and Russia. The story also revolves around a city in our current news, Baghdad.
Unfortunately I had not read the first book in this series, The Eight...but I plan to do so. With some knowledge of the game of chess, I was able to follow the story when referencing the complex and strategic skill required to participate at this level of competition.
Story line is fast paced, full of globe trotting escapades, puzzling brainteasers and strong female characters.
When reading this book you must have time to absorb all the rich details as almost every chapter leaped from a different time and place.
The Fire is recommend for a reader interested in seeing history through different eyes and tying events together in an innovative way.
