Michael Strogoff

At a grand celebration in the New Palace, all appears calm and orderly. Yet, hidden from the festivities, two individuals are acutely aware of a grave threat the telegraph line beyond Tomsk has been severed! The Czar and General Kissoff recognize the treachery of Ivan Ogareff, who is stoking rebellion in Siberia. If the Grand Duke, who governs Siberia from Irkutsk, isnt informed of the insurrection soon, the criminals will seize control of the city—and ultimately, all of Russia! The only hope lies with a courageous courier, Michael Strogoff, who must navigate perilous traps set by Ogareff while keeping his true identity a secret. Will he succeed in delivering the urgent message in time? (Summary by Esther ben Simonides)
