Title: Boring
Review: Let's see, how's this one go? In the company of some fanatical Jesuits, Saint-Germain goes on a state mission from Poland to Russia, abandons the mission, gets the dying madman Ivan the Terrible (guilt-stricken over slaying his own son and heir) fixated on his collection of gemstones, and then gets wrapped up in marriage (hey, after 3,500 years the man was bound to tie the knot sooner or later) with a traumatized Russian noblewoman whose relatives seek to take over the throne of Muscovy. Not a bad job on Yarbro's part as far as getting the terminology and xenophobic outlook of the era right but not much really happens in this slooooow 350 page novel.
