Critical Praise

"Through the power of the author's imagination, we see not only the tragedy of the Emperor, but that of a human being, man, and father."

——Ivan Artsyshevsky, The Romanov Family Association

"A gripping and entirely believable description of the last days of the Romanovs...Thoroughly enjoyable, educational, and just a good old-fashioned page-turner."

——Margaret George, author of Mary, Called Magdalene

"This is a dream of a book... [Robert Alexander's] tough, stylish prose is the perfect medium for this fast-becoming myth of evil and innocence, of frailty and courage, of betrayal and redemption."

——Judith Guest

"Ingenious...Keeps readers guessing through the final pages."

——USA Today
