  • Book Launch: Justin Watson, 1919: The Romanov Rising
    Tues. Dec. 10th, 6PM, Garden District Book Shop, Free and Open to the Public

    Both Theodore Roosevelt and Winston Churchill advocated intervention in Russia after WWI. The Romanov Rising imagines the beginning of the beginning of the campaign to defeat the Bolsheviks and rescue Russia from a dark and terrible path.

    The authors of the Romanov Rising 1919 join Hy & Christopher to talk about this—and the event on Tuesday, Dec 10.

    The premier of this second volume of groundbreaking Alternate History imagines the survivors of the imperial family stuck in a little out of the way town, with no road, rail or river connection for most of the year. Thus, already, with the corpses left from their rescue still being collected, Tsarina Tatiana, the First of Her Name, is striking out for better position. A battle must be fought against a seemingly overwhelming force of Bolsheviks, just to hold on to their tiny Tobolsk, in Siberia. Yekaterinburg, rich in precious metals must be taken to fund the war, with only a dozen men available to take it. The beautiful nun and imperial aunt, Grand Duchess Elisabeth Feodorovna, and her companions must be rescued from a vile fate. Also, the lines must be laid out for the various fractious anti-Bolshevik forces to unite under the Imperial Crown. Finally, the two possible successors, Maria Alexandovna and her sister, Anastasia, must be whisked to safety in the United States and the United Kingdom, where one of them will learn love not just of a man, but of his people, his country, and their way of life.

    Clever spying, desperate battles, subtle diplomacy, terrorism, counter-terrorism, propaganda, and romance: the campaign to defeat the Bolsheviks and rescue Holy Russia from a dark and terrible fate continues.
