The Romanov Prophecy

Jonathan Tysick

Fast paced thriller weaved with Russian history and imagination. A bit formulaic, but thoroughly entertaining and informative.

History is being made and Miles Lord has a ringside seat. The people of Russia have voted to bring back the tsar, a ruler to be selected from the distant relatives of Nicholas II, who was murdered along with the rest of the Romanov family in 1918. Miles has been asked to run a background check on one of the candidates. But excitement turns to terror when Miles is nearly killed by gunmen. Suddenly, he is racing across continents with only a cryptic utterance by Rasputin, made at the time of the Romanov massacre, as his guide. The implications of this prophecy are earth-shattering - not only for the future tsar and mother Russia, but for Miles himself.

I thoroughly enjoyed especially the first two parts of the book. The whole premise of “but what if the tsar is brought back in Russia” was intriguing enough to be an instant buy. The mystery was nice to read, the characters well developed, and the ending a tense showdown between the main players. 

Unfortunately, the action was non-stop, which made the ending feel to me like a “yet another shoot down Miles will no-doubt miraculously survive”. Honestly, I just got a little tired of the non-stop shootings, but that’s more of a preference thing. The book was well researched and well written so definitely one I can recommend!
