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 and there really was a false Dmitri:
...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.
