Ekaterinburg, Russia: July 16, 1918. Ten months have
passed since Nicholas IIs reign was cut short by revolutionaries.
Tonight, the White Army advances on the town where the Tsar and his
family are being held captive by the Bolsheviks. Nicholas dares to hope
for salvation. Instead, the Romanovs are coldly and methodically
executed.
Moscow: Present Day. Atlanta lawyer Miles Lord, fluent
in Russian and well versed in the countrys 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 the
distant relatives of Nicholas II by a specially appointed commission,
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.
Suddenly 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
Miles toward the writings of Rasputin, he becomes desperate to know
moremost important, what really happened to the family of Russias last tsar?
His only companion is Akilina Petrov, a Russian circus performer
sympathetic to his struggle, and his only guide is a cryptic message
from Rasputin that implies 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 prophecys implications are
earth-shatteringnot only for the future of the tsar and mother Russia,
but also for Miles himself.
Steve Berry, national bestselling author of the phenomenal thriller The Amber
Room, once again delves into rich historical fact to produce an explosive
page-turner. In The Romanov Prophecy, the authentic and the speculative meld
into a fascinating and exceptionally suspenseful work of fiction.
