About the Guest
Captain S. Martin Shelton, USN
(ret.) completed “forty plus years of military service which included active
duty in the Korean and Vietnam wars, requiring that he travel throughout the
world, with particular emphasis on the Far East. S. Martin Shelton has an extensive background
in Soviet and Chinese studies which fostered his interest in the 1917 Russian
Revolution, the Bolshevik’s regicide of the Czar, Empress, and their five
children, and the burgeoning Soviet Communist régime. Captain S. Martin Shelton
is the author of St. Catherine's Crown.
According to the book description
of St. Catherine's Crown, “1917- Empress Alexandria understands that the
Bolsheviks will soon topple the Czar. She charges her godson, Kirik Pirogov, to
carry the imperial crown of Catherine the Great and a cache of Romanov jewelry
to a secret czarist refuge in western China. Alexandra informs her youngest
daughter, Grand Duchess Anastasia, of the escape route necessary to carry on
the Romanov Dynasty.
Kirik and Anastasia make perilous
journeys across Siberia via the Trans-Siberian Railroad. Their story is told
against a background of revolution, their hardscrabble life in the Russian
village, constant fear of the Soviet secret police, and unscrupulous
treasure-hunters.”
