"Russia in 1917, on the brink of revolution, is no place for a solitary American oil speculator.  Matthew Cabell is heading for home when his departure is frustrated by the Princeling Frederick Gorshkov and his younger sister Olga, on whose parents' country estate Cabell has taken refuge from the revolutionaries.  Cabell takes the children and their formidable English governess under his wing and in the Gorshkov's Rolls-Royce Silver Ghost, makes his way south to try to escape the revolution and Russia, and indeed the mysterious curse of the Golden Sabre, by way of the Caspian Sea."
