On the surface, young Giorgi Lazarov may seem quiet and unassuming – but deep down inside, he possesses an incredible gift with the power to change the world. The only problem? The world’s two most ruthless mass murderers, Joseph Stalin and Adolf Hitler, not only know about Giorgi’s gift, they remain determined to either claim it for their own or destroy him to prevent it from falling into the other’s hands. So, as the frenzied conflict of WWII hits a climactic peak, Giorgi suddenly finds himself caught up in the midst of a deadly game with nothing less than the fate of all mankind at stake...

Supremely riveting, Rasputin’s Legacy is a dynamic page-turning thriller. In his standout debut novel, author Troy Matthew Carnes presents the reader with a mind-blowing tale of historical fiction, offering up quite the imaginative take on the hidden, “unofficial” battles of World War II. Though many tales of the great international conflict exist, few of them – if any – have the unique, genuine creative flair of Carnes’ engrossing epic. Furthermore, amply bolstered by well-researched historical facts and details, Rasputin’s Legacy succeeds in drawing the reader’s interest in so convincingly that he/she is likely to believe that they’re reading a true-life account of real historical events as they happened. Such a compelling suspension of disbelief is the primary goal of any author, and Carnes pulls it off in masterful fashion.

Inexorably captivating, Rasputin’s Legacy is a gripping, cerebral tale of nonstop action and adventure. The highly recommended debut of what promises to be a stellar literary talent.
