review 1: A very interest story taking some liberties with history and the deaths fo the Russian Czar Nicholas and his family WITH the survival of Anastasia in a very different set of circumstances and ending. I enjoyed this book very much. Some very modern situations with a very historical background about Anastasia and the Spanish Flu epidemic of the early 1900's which killed millions throughout the world. Highly recommend this book.
review 2: I had mixed feelings about this book. I got caught up in the medical mystery surrounding the Spanish flu and the story of Anastasia Romanov, but did not enjoy the story of the inept, idiotic criminals and their religious mastermind. It added an unnecessary point of view that didn't add much to the story other than wondering ... morehow they managed to survive so long. The historical information seemed accurate, and the setting of very small town Alaska was interesting, although I would like to have seen more glimpses of everyday life other than that of the criminals. Finally, the character of Frank Slater seemed to be highly intelligent, motivated and courageous, but he had either the most awful luck, or a truly inept sense of management, both of which seemed to be at odds with his character. All in all, a quick read with an interesting plot, but it had enough flaws to make me rate it lower than I had expected. less
