One of the finest novels in his early period by this prolific and eminent giant author of the period, William Le Queux: this is a fast moving story blends political evil and Court conspiracy with a moving love affair in England between a member of the Imperial Romanoff family of Russia and an upper class English suitor facing the unbridgeable yawning social class gap between them. Bombs; assassinations; corrupt power and The revolutionists. Each and every figure is a real character leaping off the page in this drama centred on a fine gentlemanly bachelor of the period’s genre Mr Trewinnard, who in many ways as a character is a precursor of his later spy heroes such as Sant. The drama centred on England and Russia, both the Imperial Court in Petersburg and graphically portrayed in a dramatic humanitarian race across Siberia in the height of winter. A really good read and a rollicking great yarn.
