Book Description:
Ekaterinburg, Russia: July 16, 1918. Ten months have passed since Nicholas II's 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.Members who requested this book also requested:
Moscow: Present Day. Atlanta lawyer Miles Lord, fluent in Russian and well versed in the country's 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 more -- most important, what really happened to the family of Russia's 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-shattering -- not 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.

A mystery, love story, historical novel all rolled into a whopping good read. Good through and through!

This has an impressive plot and has a lot of historic details although it is a fiction. It's a good read.

A historical mystery, what if Anastasia survived the massacre of the Romanov family? in the style of John Grisham (attorney's solving mysteries and facing hit men) and Dan Brown (alternative history)

A history based thriller, very thought-provoking about the mysteries of the Russian royal Romanov family who were supposedly executed by the Bolsheviks. Their mass grave was uncovered in the 1980's and it was revealed that, just like rumor had suggested , the remains of the bodies of Alexi and Anatasia were not there. What was their fate?

Ho Boy, what a plot. Berry out Dan Browns Dan Brown with the Romanov assassinations in 1918. A Great read, especially if you have studied, either formally or informally, Russian History.

Mediocre. Predictable.

I enjoyed the other 2 Steve Berry books that I read but this one needed some serious editing, especially the first half of the book. There were so many foolish mistakes - 'blistering wind' is one of my favorites -that it was almost comical. It could have been very good but, alas, it wasn't.

I am new to Dan Berry (this was the second book of his that I have read), and I find his books to be wonderful. If you liked Dan Brown's Da Vinci Code and Angels and Demons, you will LOVE any of Berry's books. This is fast-paced historical thriller that will keep you on the edge of your seat!
I have recently discovered Steve Berry, and am quite a fan. I like the way he intertwines history with a riveting action story.
Katie L. from CARSON CITY, NV wrote on 3/10/2008...It took 150 pages to get interesting but, after that, it was a good read.
Interesting historical novel .While fictional, it gives knowledge to the reader about the history of Russia before the communist regime took over. Also adds to the mystery of what really happened to Alexie & Anastasia.

Genny S. from JACKSONVILLE, FL wrote on 12/18/2007...For all of you lovers of Russian history, this is a must read. A real page turner.
Gripping story focusing on the possibility that not all the Romanov's were murdered. Pulls you into the story leaving you wanting more.
The is the best of Steve Berry. Easy read, and even a bit of history thrown in.
This is a "what if" book! After the fall of communism and a series of weak leaders, the Russian people have voted to bring back a tsar to be chosen from one of the distant relatives of Nicholas II. Mystery,action and suspense follow when it becomes known that Rasputin had left a prophecy that the murder of the Romanovs was not the last chapter in their story. Earth shattering implications for the future of a tasar and for Russia itself
