From the cold, haunting alleys of Russia's orphanages to the grandeur of the Kremlin, The Russian Orphan: They Call Him the White Stallion unveils the enigmatic life of Commander Sergei Radkov. He's not just any man; he's a symbol, a force, a leader.

  • World Changer: Join Sergei on his quest to reshape the world, battling internal demons and external threats, especially those that target his beloved Selena.

The stakes are high. The challenges, formidable. The passion, undeniable. Every page is a journey, every chapter an emotion. Do you dare to ride alongside the White Stallion?

My Review
It has been a long while since I have read an espionage thriller. I liked the vibe of the story. It moved at a very fast pace, which was very good. So, I was never just sitting reading and waiting for something to happen. 
I did get attached to Sergei. His story from childhood to the White Stallion. He is an interesting character. Because of what he went through, I was rooting for him. The relationship between Selena and him is nice. I like that it fit in as part of the story but was not the main focal point. 
As much as I did like the world building and Sergei, I did find that I did struggle to connect to the other various characters in the story. Therefore, there were times when I found myself reading the story but not fully comprehending what was happening or what I was reading. I would have to reread parts. However, I am intrigued to see this book being turned into a mini series.
