The year is 1917. Ten years after leaving his home on bad terms, Klim Rogov returns to Russia to claim his inheritance after his wealthy father's death. As a famous journalist now holding Argentinean citizenship, he wants to leave the country as soon as possible, but then he meets Nina, a young businesswoman, and falls in love with her. She is, in some ways, an "immigrant" too--a brave soul who dared to enter the hostile, man-dominated world of business and succeeded despite the odds. But all of her achievements are ruined during a gloomy October night when the Reds seize power and ban all private property. As a foreign citizen, Klim has a chance to escape the civil war unleashed by the Bolshevik Revolution, though now he feels like a first-class passenger on the Titanic, who has to save only himself or die. Time is running out, and Klim must make a fateful decision that will cost him dearly either way. My countrymen believe that Nina and I are public enemies who need to be destroyed. I can't let that happen. Relive the Bolshevik Revolution as a free-spirited foreign journalist who refuses to desert the woman he loves and decides to remain in the Land of the Soviets, fighting for their lives throughout the bloody struggles of the Russian civil war. --Amazon
