Book Reviews of The Romanov Prophecy: A Novel

Book Review: Finding the new Tsar
Summary: 3 Stars

Miles Lord is walking through Moscow after lunch when all of a sudden assassins start shooting and kill his Russian colleague. Only inventiveness and sheer luck prevent him from being shot as well. The Russian people have decided that they want to reinstate the Tsar and Lord is working for an American law firm that is helping one of the Romanov contenders for the throne. But apparently he has stumbled onto something important because the killers keep trying to murder him. He wants to get to the bottom of it all and he teams up with Akilina, a Russian acrobat. Together they are the Raven and the Eagle, who, according to one of Rasputin's prophecies, will reinstall the Romanov's on the Russian throne. In the end they succeed, but before that they travel halfway over the world and a lot of people are killed in the process.

The author has very obviously studied the style of Dan Brown, but I liked Brown better, even tohugh it is difficult to say why. A decent read while on holiday, even though the endless chases are tiring at times. I was also surprised by the fact that it takes Lord, who seems to be quite bright, such a long time to work out who the villain is behind it all. The historical background is actually quite adequate, which means that the reader can get a good insight into the end of the Romanovs and the beginning of the Communist rule.
