Product Description

From Publishers Weekly

With this second Russian suspense novel, which focuses on the restoration of the Romanov dynasty, Berry shows he's honed his craft since his somewhat shaky debut, The Amber Room (2003). Miles Lord, a workaholic African-American lawyer from Atlanta, is in Moscow to help Stefan Baklanov, the Romanov claimant his high-powered firm is backing. Since the new tsar will reign as an autocrat like his ancestors, both big rubles and big bucks are at stake—not to mention access to nuclear weapons. Lord soon discerns that Baklanov is corrupt, a tool of the mafiya. While digging through old files on the Russian Revolution, Lord comes to believe Baklanov is the "raven" Rasputin predicted would help save the royal house in 1916. Teaming with a beautiful acrobat, Akilina Petrov of the Moscow Circus, Lord attempts to discover whether any children of Nicholas II escaped Lenin's executioners. A series of exotic clues propel the pair on an international scavenger hunt. Berry uses Russia—past and present—to excellent effect and makes sharp observations about the contemporary Russian scene, such as the racism Lord encounters throughout the country. The book's villain needs a bit more development, but this doesn't detract much from a solid tale a cut above—and then some—many thrillers on the market.

From AudioFile

L.J. Ganser does admirably with his various Russian accents, but his standard narration is delivered with an edgy and almost nasal tone unbefitting of an African-American hero on a mission in Russia. This adventure follows Atlanta attorney and Russian history buff Miles Lord as he assists the Russian government in determining the authenticity of a successor to the tsarist throne. Lord, along with a beautiful Russian circus performer, follows a trail of coded secrets in a century-old prophecy of Rasputin as they dodge bullets of Moscow mob assassins with their own vested interest in restoring the Russian imperial throne. The plausibility of this novel's premise stretches thin, but listeners will still be thrilled by the author's fast-paced writing and this smoothly adapted abridgment.

4.0 out of 5 stars A 21st CENTURY TSAR..., Nov 26 2007

By	Lawyeraau (Balmoral Castle) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

This review is from: The Romanov Prophecy: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

This is an interesting and enjoyable work of fiction. As with all of the author's works, there is a historical thread that runs through it. Here, the Russian people, sick of its weak post-communist governments, have boldly decided that is time to restore the Romanovs to the throne. Yes, it is time to bring back the tsar.

Having made this monumental decision, the Russians, through a duly selected Tsar Commission, are going to choose their tsar from the distant blood relatives of Nicholas II, the last Romanov to so rule, he and his family having been massacred in 1918. American lawyers, Miles Lord and his boss, Taylor Hayes, are in Russia as advisors to the Tsar Commission, which is charged with interviewing claimants for the throne. The leading contender for selection by the Commission is Stefan Baklanov. Miles Lord is charged with doing a background check on Baklanov, who has connections with many western businesses, many of which are clients of his law firm, to ensure that there is nothing that will impugn his claim to the throne.

In his search, Lord discovers a cryptic prophecy by Rasputin that would seem to imply that the world had not seen the last of the Romanovs. Tantalizing clues in archival material spur Lord to discover more. It seems that there may be a well-guarded historical secret that has the potential to challenge and even derail Baklanov's claim. Many will stop at nothing to keep it from being discovered, which is why Miles Lord now finds himself targeted for death. As he races around Russia, gathering bits of information here and there, the body count mounts with Lord only narrowly avoiding a meeting with the grim reaper. It is, however, only a matter of time before the Romanov prophecy is fulfilled.

This is another action packed page turner by the author. There are many twists and turns in this plot driven book, although it falls somewhat short in terms of character development. Still, the historical details are well-researched. Those who like historical thrillers will find much to enjoy in this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Unputdownable, Mar 15 2006

By	"morgana75" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Romanov Prophecy: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

I picked up this book while I was on summer vacation in Italy, as it was one of the few english books that I could find. I am a very picky reader and I had never heard of Steve Berry before, so I was incredibly surprised to find the book so captivating. It begins as a political fiction novel, and then turns into an historical thriller of Dan Brown's proportions. I could not put it down until I finished it, and as soon as I got back to the US I ran to the store to buy all other Steve Berry's books. In my opinion, this remains his best.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic page-turner with a few twists to make a jaw drop, Feb 14 2006

By	D. Donahue (CANADA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: The Romanov Prophecy: A Novel (Mass Market Paperback)

Yes. I totally agree with the other positive reviews of this book. It's a fantastic little read. There were a few moments in the book where author Steve Berry threw in a twist that literally made me scream out loud & made me wonder how a person's brain can think of such dramatic turns!

The Writer's Note at the end describing where fact separates from fiction is much appreciated. Read it last, though, because you might be as shocked as I was to see how much of this amazing tale is actually based on truth. Proving that, in regards to the Romanov family: "the truth of their ultimate fate is far more scintillating than fiction."

But in this fact-meets-fiction book, it's a total treat!
