The story you are about to read is one of great rank and privilege,
of huge wealth and power, and of treachery, corruption and lies. My
name is Alec Johnson, or so my adopted parents had told me, and so
it would have stayed had the stranger not come, and with him
brought the notebook which was to prove the first of those lies.
What possible connection could there be between me, a seventy-one
year old gamekeeper in the Scottish Highlands, and a Royal
Proclamation signed by Tsar Paul in 1798? How could the events
surrounding the massacre of the Russian royal family in 1918, and
whether Grand Duchess Anastasia had escaped, have any possible
connection to me? Why would the intrigue surrounding the flight of
Rudolf Hess, Deputy Fuhrer of Nazi Germany to Scotland in 1941, be
of anything other than historical interest to me, and how could I
possibly have anything to do with the demand by Islamic militants
to withdraw our troops from their countries, or to the formation of
the Islamic Self-Defence Force (ISDF). None of those things, or so
I thought, but all of those things in fact Nathan is an excellent
narrator who creates a lot of suspense in The Forgotten Tsar. His
research is superb. H. P. Thur, Literary Editor NZZ Libero,
Switzerland.
