The premise of this series allows the reader a tour of history, viewing the action through the eyes of Count Saint-Germain who has lived through the ages -- a human being not trapped in and bound by only his own time. This particular installment takes the reader to Russia during the 1580's. We get a nice flavor of the times, bruitish, superstitious and hard though they were. Many thanks to the author for the rich detail of old Russia.
