Michael Strogoff by Jules Verne
5.0

I remember reading this book in my childhood and being completely immersed in the story. I seldom re-read a book when younger, but this one, I have read at least twice and enjoyed it immensely both times. Jules Verne was at or near his peak as a writer, with this plot, and he did a great job. The plot follows the adventures of a special courier for the Czar of Russia, during a turbulent period of Russian history, as he overcomes repeated obstacles in accomplishing his mission. One reviewer describes it is a Mission Impossible type story, it is somewhat, but more in the Indiana Jones style. I highly recommend this book.
