Summary

The surviving Nihilists have condemned the Russian General Trebassof to death for the crimes he and his troops committed against the revolution. Three attempts on his life have failed, but the Czar is determined to keep him alive.

The Czar assigns the redoubtable, French detective reporter, Rouletabille, to the case. It quickly becomes apparent that one of the General's own retinue is in league with the assassins! Why?

Terrible Narrator

Would you try another book written by Gaston Leroux or narrated by John Bolen?

Would not listen to this narrator ever again.

What could Gaston Leroux have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

Not as good as The Phantom of the Opera or The Mystery of the Yellow Room

How could the performance have been better?

Incorrect pronunciation, silly accents, tone never varies, pauses in inexplicable places clearly in defiance of punctuation.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Very Disappointing.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
