Steve Berry: The Romanov Prophecy

Nem is értem ez a Steve Berry könyv eddig még miért nem volt lefordítva, pedig jobb mint A Borostyánszoba. Egy igazán érdekes thriller arról, mi lenne ha Oroszországba visszaállítnák a cárizmust, és megkezdődne a politikai belharc a hatalomért. Valamint mit jelentene, ha kiderülne, hogy Jekatyerinburgban nem végezték ki az összes Romanov-ot és valakik túlélték a mészárlást. Izgalmas, olvasható, és nincs túlbonyolítva a cselekmény.

Érdekes volt az ismert történetet egy ilyen kimenetellel olvasni.
Mint fikció szerintem élvezhető olvasmány.

Hayes firmly believed Russians would have respected their leaders more if they’d raised the fares, then shot anybody who openly protested. That was a lesson many Russian tsars and communist premiers had failed to learn—Nicholas II and Mikhail Gorbachev particularly.
