The Book of All-Power
The Book of All-Power is a 1921 adventure novel by Edgar Wallace set in revolutionary Russia. Malcolm Hay, a young Englishman who speaks Russian, takes a post with an oil company in the south of the country just as the old order is collapsing. He becomes entangled with the Grand Duchess Irene, a scheming prince and assorted revolutionaries, all of them chasing a legendary book said to give its possessor power over the Russian people. The chase leads through raids, prisons, a holy village and a monastery, with plenty of disguises and narrow escapes, in the brisk style that made Wallace a best-selling thriller writer.
