" This was a great retelling of what happened in Russia when the Czar and his family were kidnapped and held in Ekaterinburg. So many live and vibrant characters from the Princess Anastasia and Sorg, to the people who tried to save her from the fateful night in 1918. You get to see what these people did to try to save the Romanov's. While Dr. Pavlov is doing a dig in Russia she stumbles across a frozen person with keys to a long ago mystery she seeks out someone who sent her on this path, and in so she learns so much about the people who had nothing left to loose. Definitely a gripping thriller and that had me pulled in until I could put it down. Took four days off and on to read this book. I don't know that any review can do it justice it's that good a book. Can't wait to see what Mr. Meade comes up with next! "

" An historical novel which attempts to describe an alternative ending to the Anastasia myth. Marries a bit of Pasternak with Kostova (The Historian) to provide a very satisfying read. "

" This was much better than the last book I read by Mr. Meade. I liked the topic and the story was very interesting and exciting. It moved quite quickly for a long book and all the characters were believable. "

" Five stars, would have given it six if I could, an amazing tale. Told so well. I was in love with this book and am sad it is over now. I took my time in reading it and everytime I picked it up this feeling came about me. I'm a history person and the Romanov lore has always astounded me. Glenn Meade did an excellent job with this story and I cannot wait to read more by him. "

" Wow. Incredible fiction based on facts in relatively recent history. The good guys in this story run across bad guy after badder guy to baddest guys, including Lenin and Trotsky. "

" This is great book it was hard for me to put down. Whether it is true or not is not what I wondered. But like a Dan Brown novel the history was enjoyable and helped the story. "
