Format:Paperback
I may be guilty of pedantry here but the Russian in question is an anarchist and not a communist. That said Ken Follett is at his best, taking a historical event and giving it a ficticious twist, and yes, as with his other novels, you do tend to want the bad guy to win.
If you're a first time Follet reader I would recommend 'Eye of the Needle', 'Pillars of the Earth' and 'Code to Zero' over this one, but if you've read those then this one will not let you down. Well, not by much.

As ever Ken Follett has created an quick paced, easy to read story book. When you need an author to read that doesn't take too much effort and keeps you hooked try Ken Follett. The Man from St Petersburg set just prior to WW1 mixes the British landed gentry with the Russian anarchist, and a nice twist to the tale. Enjoy!

Another great book from Ken follet. Out of all his books I would rank this one behind Pillars of the Earth (best book of all time by far)and Eye of the Needle. Extremely plausible novel, very realistic characters, and you simply can't put it down. Finished it in under 2 days

Hard to imagine the same author wrote 'Pillars of the Earth' and 'World Without End'. The man from St Petersburg was woeful, I've read plenty of Ken Follet books and this one... Read more
