Michael Strogoff: The Courier of the Czar

Michael Strogoff was raised in the frigid deathtrap known as the Siberian steppe. Now a comissioned officer in the Russian special corps, he's got the grit of a thousand men. And he's going to need it. For when he's tasked with a secret mission that will stop a revolution and save the life of the czar's brother, he will need to cross the very desolate wasteland that he grew up in. He knows will try to kill him at every turn. And now it's a war zone. Bristling with chivalry and parental devotion, Jules Verne's riveting adventure of cunning spies, colorful characters, and artful plot twists is as satisfying now as when critics first received it with enthusiasm in 1876.
