The Ruslan Shanidza Novels
|
How do you bring down a President who will stop at nothing to stay in power?
Olympic hero turned peace campaigner Ruslan Shanidza sets out on his most ambitious undertaking, as he puts himself at the head of a campaign to unseat the brutal strongman who rules his post-communist homeland.
He assembles a fractious coalition of rivals and former enemies. But they must confront some very dangerous people: men with blood on their hands who know they can never allow their grip on power to slip.
The conflict quickly escalates. Espionage, blackmail and intimidation give way to arrests, beatings and assassinations as the President and his cronies plot a murderous crackdown. Ruslan soon learns that he has placed himself and his family right in the firing line in an increasingly desperate fight to the finish.
"Clark uses real events as inspiration, weaving history into an engaging narrative…told through the story of Ruslan and his family alongside a cast of other (many unsavoury) characters. It's a style I enjoy…It's also engaging in a way that I found myself thinking about it while I wasn't reading it… Although the last in a trilogy (and I haven't read the others), that didn't hold me back and it can be read as a standalone."
Lachlan Page, author of Magical Disinformation and The General of Caracas
"…the quality of the characters depicted in this book was superb. The author did an amazing job at comprehensively developing the characters by giving them really strong personalities that will stick with the reader till the end of the story.
"…gripped my interest throughout the entire book due to its powerful message of freedom from tyranny. The political and military aspects of the book were very intriguing...
"I recommend this book to lovers of historical fiction and thrillers...if you seek a great read, Day of the Long Knives by Paul Clark is the book for you."
OnlineBookClub.Org Official Review
"…this one captivated me since I have a history with Russia particular during some of the transition from the USSR. While this is fictional, much of what he writes smacks of a true-life adventure…The characters come alive and are well developed as he weaves into their personal lives a most credible backstory…will keep you engaged and attentive to discover the next twist in the script."
