About the book

Artem Samsurov, a protégé of Lenin, makes an extraordinary escape from Russia to reach sanctuary in Australia. But he soon finds that Brisbane in 1911 isn’t quite the workers’ paradise he was expecting, and that the local Russion Association is more concerned with social events than overthrowing the Tsar.
