This book was not a very believable premise. The idea of bringing back the Czar of Russia is ridiculous. The action parts of the story moved pretty well, but overall not a great story.
Great Read/Listen!
Atlanta lawyer, Miles Lord, fluent in Russian and well versed in the country's history is thrilled to be in Moscow on the eve of such a momentous event. After the fall of Communism and a succession of weak governments, the Russian people have voted to bring back the monarchy. The new tsar will be chosen from among the distant relatives of Nicholas II, and Miles' job is to perform a background check on the tsarist candidate favored by a powerful group of Western businessmen. But research quickly becomes the least of Miles concerns when he is nearly killed by gunmen on a city plaza
Suddently Miles is racing across continents shadowed by nefarious henchmen. At first, his only question is why people are pursuing him. But after a strange conversation with a mysterious Russian who steers him toward the writings of Rasputin. Miles becomes desperate to know more.
His only guide is a cryptic message from Rasputin implying that the bloody night of so long ago is not the last chapter in the Romanovs' story...and that someone might even have survived the massacre. The prophecy's implications are earth shattering - not only for the future of the tsar and mother Russia, but also for Miles himself.
