The Book of All-Power
Edgar Wallace
Book Overview:
The Book of All Power by Edgar Wallace is set in London at the beginning, and then the action moves to Russia. The story covers the period from 1910 to 1919 during which the Russian Revolution takes place and this results in drastic changes to Russian society. This book could be described as a romantic adventure story and the main characters are a weird assortment - Malcolm Hay, a young Englishman, a beautiful Grand Duchess of the Russian Aristocracy, a Russian general, a Jewish bookbinder, and an American sharp shooter. Much happens, and the Russian characters, heavily influenced by their religion and politics, provide a fascinating insight into the mind of the Russian people, aristocrats and peasants, and all those in between.

"Impossible!" She sprang to her feet. "He would never dare! He would never dare!"
[Pg 53]
Kensky spread out his expressive hands.
"Who knows?" he said. "Men and women are the slaves of their ambition."
She looked at him intently.

The book picked up at about the one-third mark when the roles of the cha
Edgar Wallace, one of the top mystery/thriller authors of his time, takes us to the Russian Revolution. We follow a 22-year-old man on his first assignment for a Russian-English oil company as he becomes embroiled in intrigue and romance involving a beautiful Grand Duchess, American mobster Cherry B
A high-spirited romp through the Russian Revolution with the aid of more coincidences than you can shake a stick at and a good dose of dramatic licence. The pace of the writing sails you past the thin bits and there's enough plot to keep you going, though it gets telegraphed to you a few times too o
Great Read
