I am hesitant to embark on novels that allude to any of Dan Brown's novels. Not just because it seemed to start a fad, with some poor results, but because even Dan Brown didn't write as "well" as he did previously, once The Davinci Code took off.
However, once I started The Romanov Cross,by Robert Masello I couldn't put it down. The characters were very engaging, and well written. The plot was intriguing, and the premise for the spread of The Spanish Flu to the Inuits was actually plausible. I found myself searching for information on the Romanovs and Rasputin, at various points; I always enjoy a novel that encourages me to explore more about its content.
I highly recommend this novel.
