The Romanov Prophecy
By: Steve Barry
Genre: Historical Suspense/Adventure
Michelle picked this one up...and couldn't put it down...in South Africa.
Imagine a world where: The Russian Monarchy is to be reinstated due to the political instability and social strife suffered in post-communist Russia. We track the adventures of a black American Lawyer, Miles Lord, who is a member of the Russian Commission that eventually will select the next Tsar of Russia. Lord probes a little too deep into the fuzzy history of the Romanov royal family and meets trouble with almost everyone. The problem with this book is that Barry reveals the villans within the first few chapters of the book! However, the historical facts and interesting tidbits of research that Barry infuses into the book more than makes up for the lack of suspense. Actually, I take it back. There is suspense! You really want to find out more about what REALLY happened to Tsar Nicholas II and his family in those last fateful days in 1914.
