I really like the title of this book. The story is paced well and creates intrigue. The story (as far as I know) is accurate to the time period it was written. One of the problems that exist is the manner in which translations are given. Personally, I think it would be better to give translations as inline comments and scrap all Russian words and phrases that cannot easily be learned by the reader from context clues. Also, there are some grammatical errors. All in all, this was definitely a good read with a few technical problems.
