History professor develops an odd ability to go back in time, and attempts to rescue the Tsar of Russia from the Bolsheviks. Pretty good adventure, but claims to be a first novel, and the writing shows it. Interesting time travel tale, in which a modern day (more or less--mid-1980s) historian who lives in NYC travels back to the Russian Revolution and becomes involved in a plan to rescue the Russian imperial family. Unfortunately, while speculation has long flourished about whether any of them did make it out alive, recent DNA evidence has shown they didn't, so that does work against the suspension of disbelief--a little. Mostly I enjoyed the ride anyway. The mechanism by which the main character traveled was very similar to that used in The Time Traveler's Wife--no device, simply something innate (genetic?) in the man himself. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
