When Malcolm Hay, a young British engineer, is sent to work for a
Ukrainian-English oil company right before the first World War, he
becomes a unique spectator of the political tensions of the time.
After he befriends Kensky, a wealthy, elderly, Jewish-Russian man,
and Grand-Duchess Irene Yaroslav, his life is changed by the gift
Kensky has entrusted him with The Book of All-Power. The book,
which is said to be able to make any man do the holder's bidding
and holds the secret to total power, is sought after by many, but
few would suspect the engineer to have it in his possession. Years
later Malcolm finds himself back in Russia, where he reconnects
with old acquaintances, each finding themselves trapped in the
country and enemies to the state. After her old butler gains
prominence in the Russian Revolution, Irene is kept as his servant.
Meanwhile, Malcolm is kept as a prisoner, accused of being an enemy
to the revolution. With the help of a mutual friend and American
gangster, Cherry Bim, and brandishing the all-powerful book, can
Malcolm and Irene escape their imprisonment, and flee from Russia
before it's too late? This high-stakes thriller joins the
impressive and respected catalog of Edgar Wallace, taking readers
on an adventure. With the compelling characters, powerful artifact,
and exciting setting, The Book of All Power is sure to keep readers
engaged until the very last word. Wallace is considered to be one
of the greats of 19th science fiction and crime thriller genre, and
defends his title by embellishing The Book of All Power with twists
and unique perspectives on the fall of the Russian autocracy.
Partnered with a new eye-catching design, The Book of All Power
captures its audience and treats them to a modern and accessible
manuscript that brings the legendary author, Edgar Wallace, into
