In 1921 Russia, a mysterious visitor from the far future comes to Peter Alexeivich Kropotkin's deathbed and offers the world-renowned activist/philosopher a new life. The being who calls himself Anchee Mahur has the power to tamper with history. Kropotkin – the one-time prince who renounced wealth and privilege to embrace the cause of anarchy, the dying humanist who long suffered the torments of prison and official scorn – can be reborn, if he so chooses. And he does.

This book reads like an anarchist fantasy and if that's your thing you'll love it.

Picked this up in a large batch of books from a previous library sale. Most of the books I get from those sales might be worth about what I paid (pennies on the book). This one however was a delightful surprise, with energetic and engaging characters.
