On Amazon (USA) I too see a large number of books with that title,
many of them parts of different series, some of which may not be SF.

This opportunity is as good as any to ask a question I've had at
the back of my head for some time:

There are many works of pop culture (movies, books as you note)
that have titles along the lines of "Knight Moves" and "Night Moves".
I assume one of those is a pun on the other, but which one?  What's
the underlying original expression?

Yes, I know chess and how a knight moves, but that doesn't seem
very relevant.
