This book is actually three stories in one. Also this book can be a bit crude and has a few innuendos, but I really liked this book. Nikolai Dante is like the Flynn Rider for adults. The Nikolai Dante's stories takes place in the future, but in a world where the Russian Revolution never happened. These books take place in Russia, the UK, and Asia. The first story is a bit creepy. The second story is a quest that takes Nikolai around the world. The last story is a fun, adventurous trip around the UK. This last story was my favorite even though it had the crudest parts, but at the same time it was the funniest of the three stories. If you want to know what happens to Nikolai Dante in these books, then read this book.

Save your money
The writing here is juvenile. Paragraphs are incomplete. Chapters don't scan well. Has the author ever had a writing class?
But wait there is worse.
The author stole!!!!!!
He has plagiarized a character!!!!!
If you want to read about a thief that is well written and well done, go to Harry Harrison and get the Stainless Steel Rat books.
But wait if you pick this piece of drek up, you'll see that there is a character called James di Grizov who is the best thief in the galaxy. But you should know that Harrison's thief was named Jim diGriz... A coincidence? Or this author too weak to be original...
If you could give a book a zero, this one deserves it!

This book is, as others have stated, three books in one. The stories involve the same main characters, however the plots are vastly different and seem to be pretty wide ranging. They are easy to read for the most part and pretty entertaining. Be prepared for violence, blood, amputations, nudity (a lot of nudity), and violence while nude. There are some deeper themes in the books such as world domination, bioengineering, weapons of mass destruction, and general acts of atrocity, however the moral implications of these things are not the main point to any of the stories.
