Book Review:
''The Romanov Prophecy'' by Steve Berry is a sexy, illuminating thriller that follows in the tradition of Dan Brown's high-concept historical mysteries. The brutal killing of the Romanovs meant the end of the tsars. Nearly a century later, the people of Russia have voted to bring back the tsar—a ruler to be selected from the distant relatives of the last tsar, Nicholas II, who was murdered along with the rest of the Romanov family in 1918.

Miles Lord, asked to run a background check on one of the candidates, has a ringside seat as history is being made. 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.

Berry delivers another fast-paced, globe-trotting thriller filled with historical intrigue, danger, and fascinating characters. If you enjoy Dan Brown, historical mysteries, or thrillers with a Russian setting, The Romanov Prophecy is a must-read. Highly recommended!
