Review: An adventure thriller inspired by one of the great unsolved mysteries of modern history.

An exciting and wonderfully imaginative story of how George V., King of England, tries to save his cousin Tzar Nicholas II from the Reds during the Russian Revolution in 1918. James Tremayne is secretly commissioned to mount the rescue expedition. In Vladivostock, Tremayne joins forces with a White Russian general, Kasakov, and an American construction engineer, Jim Story, an expert on the Trans-Siberian Railroad.

Eastern Siberia was in the toils of civil war and revolution. Through the turbelent wasteland Tremayne and his companions make their way by armored train toward Ekaterinburg, where the Imperial Russian family are being held captive. The White forces are closing in, and there is danger Tzar Nicholas and his family will be summarily executed if the Reds are forced to withdraw.

It is a hazardous race against time and dangerous odds, and from first page to last the pace never slackens. Based solidly on history, this novel deals with one of the great unsolved mysteries of modern times...What happened to the Tzar's family? It comes up with an answer and at the time makes for a highly entertaining story.
