From the back cover:

> THE DOOMSDAY CLOCK IS TICKING.
It is Monday, May tenth, and in a sixteenth-century palace, nine-year-old Dmitri Ivanovich, son of Ivan the Terrible and heir to the Russian throne, has less than a week to live unless he can find a way to escape an assassin's blade....
> It is Monday, May tenth, and in twenty-first century America, college senior John Greene is about to participate in a simple hypnosis experiment - an experiment that will catapult him into a terrifying battle for his very existence....
> It is Monday, May tenth, and in a world where time has lost all meaning, beautiful graduate student Marina Kuryev can only wait and watch in helpless horror as the man she loves is caught in a lethal conflict with a boy long-dead....

Only available in paperback.  I never thought I'd be interested in a book like this (Russian history) but just like Jamey says in the Epilogue:

> While the twentieth-century characters were fictional, there really was a [Dmitri Ivanovich](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dmitry_of_Uglich) and there really was a [false Dmitri](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_Dmitry):
>
> ...I omitted telling you that there was a second false Dmitri.  And a third.  And a fourth.
> And they all wanted one thing.
> To be tsar.
