Kyle Duncan Libri

Part narrative, part wartime dispatch, a bestselling writer team transports you into the gritty reality of war-torn Ukraine through eyewitness accounts of faith, survival, and miraculous intervention. Amid the chaos and tragedy, they reveal the unbreakable spirit of a nation under siege--and how God is always working in redemptive ways.

'In The Dancing Men, on the other hand, the plot is emphatically what counts. Most of the characterization is no more than adequate, and there are some hefty implausibilities, but Duncan Kyle keeps your curiosity simmering away too effectively for you to mind very much.The background is political, with nothing less than the Presidency itself at stake. A new candidate enters the lists, radiating charisma - a natural choice, it would seem, for his party's nomination. But you can't be too careful, and his advisers decide to check out everything about him, including an Irish grandfather about whom almost nothing is known. A genealogist is put on the trail, so discreetly that when the man who hired him is killed in a car crash the other advisers don't know how to contact him. But what they do know is that he has begun to unearth a series of ever-deepening scandals.Both the genealogist's hunt for the truth and the politicians' hunt for the genealogist yield some exciting twists, in a plot that zigzags halfway round the world. Toward the end of the story, though, there is a certain running out of steam, as the chief villain turns out to be a bit too melodramatic even by the prevailing standards.'

A complex banking scheme combines with a top-secret plan to rescue the Czar in a mixture of fact and fiction, which moves between the Russia of 1918 and contemporary London
