This is my second Robert Harris book after first reading Fatherland. The author does like historical novels. Russian history, both the old Soviet Union and the new Russia, play a huge role in this story. From Moscow to the old Soviet sub base of Archangel, the historian Fluke Kelso tries to put together the pieces of secret history from Stalin's mythical notebook. But Dr. Kelso does not like what he finds. And the ghost of the past threatens to affect change in the present and future. Good chara

This is one of my all-time favorite books to listen to. Michael Kitchen does the narration and he's terrific. I haven't read the book yet, but I do occasionally re-listen to parts of Kitchen's delivery.

Great thriller centered on modern day [and past] Russia. Best Harris s work after Fatherland .[return][return]Highly recommended.
Another totally fun and thrilling work by Robert Harris, this time focusing on the impact of Stalin on modern day Russia and the potential existence of a diary of sorts that has the potential to lead to massive upheaval. A page-turner to the stunning ending that leaves the reader wanting much more.
