Anons,

Has anyone come across the book "The Eight" yet? By Katherine Neville and released in 2008.

It's on par with the Da Vinci Code, but has been likened to "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" and "Through the Looking Glass" because it depicts a world chess game where people are the pieces, moved by unseen forces.

One chapter is called: "The Silence Before the Storm"

The next: "The Storm"

And the following, which is Chapter 23… is called "Secret".

The final chapter: "Endgame"

One of the other chapters, titled "Zugzwang" has had that term repeated in NUMEROUS articles about Trump over the years, including as recent as a week ago.

Here is an in-depth writeup of it titled 'The Eternal Game'.
