Description
1918. Russia.
Revolution has descended Russia into a bitter civil war.
Already, Allied intervention forces are ranging themselves alongside loyalist ‘White’ Russians in the expanding struggle against the Bolshevik revolutionaries.
It is a war without pity, for the terrible news has just broken that the Emperor Nicholas II and his family — the last of the centuries-old Romanov dynasty — have been murdered by the Bolsheviks.
On patrol with his men in the forests of North Russia, Captain John Neville of His Majesty’s Royal Marines rescues two men who have been captured by the enemy.
One is a White Russian officer, the other a British agent — and they have an incredible story to tell.
The Russian Emperor and his family are not dead.
What follows is an astonishing tale of adventure as Neville is ordered by the British commander in Archangel to take his men deep into enemy-held territory in order to rescue the Russian Imperial Family.
The Romanov Mission is a thrilling action and adventure, filled with danger, hardship and intrigue, set against the vast backdrop of war-ravaged Russia.
