Condemned as a Nihilist: A Story of Escape from Siberia
An English trader's son arrives in St. Petersburg expecting a life of commerce, not conspiracy. But when he stumbles into the deadly world of Russian Nihilists, he finds himself arrested, sentenced to lifetime imprisonment in Siberia's frozen hell. The mines await. But Godfrey Bullen has something the Tsar's guards underestimated: a refusal to accept any verdict, even one signed in blood. What follows is one of literature's most harrowing escapes. Through blizzards that kill, guards who hunt with wolves, and a landscape so vast it seems designed to swallow the desperate whole, one young man races toward a border that may not accept him. Henty, writing with the granular knowledge of a man who researched his histories meticulously, transforms the Siberian passage into something between purgatory and crucible. This is adventure fiction at its Victorian height: a story about an ordinary person placed in extraordinary circumstances, who discovers reserves of cunning and will that transform him.
