1918. Russia.
Revolution has descended Russia into a bitter civil war.
Already, Allied intervention forces are ranging themselves alongside loyalist ‘White’ Russians in the expanding struggle against the Bolshevik revolutionaries.
It is a war without pity, for the terrible news has just broken that the Emperor Nicholas II and his family — the last of the centuries-old Romanov dynasty — have been murdered by the Bolsheviks.
On patrol with his men in the forests of North Russia, Captain John Neville of His Majesty’s Royal Marines rescues two men who have been captured by the enemy.
One is a White Russian officer, the other a British agent — and they have an incredible story to tell.
The Russian Emperor and his family are not dead.
What follows is an astonishing tale of adventure as Neville is ordered by the British commander in Archangel to take his men deep into enemy-held territory in order to rescue the Russian Imperial Family.
The Romanov Mission is a thrilling action and adventure, filled with danger, hardship and intrigue, set against the vast backdrop of war-ravaged Russia.
‘The descriptions of weaponry…are authentically detailed.’ - Publishers Weekly
'Takes you to the heart of the action.' - Tom Kasey, best-selling author of Cold Kill.
Robert Jackson was born in 1941 in the North Yorkshire village of Melsonby. A former pilot and navigation instructor, his active involvement with aviation lasted many years. Following his retirement from the RAFVR in 1977 as a squadron leader, he became a full-time aviation writer and aerospace correspondent and lectured extensively on strategic issues. He speaks five languages, including Russian, and has written more than forty nonfiction works on military affairs. He is also the author of the popular Yeoman and SAS fiction series.
