When the children are one-year-old, the families are brought to a secluded prison called the Stalin Gulag in Russia under the guise of bringing each family to live with him. Once inside the confines of the Stalin Gulag, he separates his children from the wives and throws the wives into Lower Level Eight, an unimaginable torture chamber and the harshest level of the prison. The wives are never heard of again. The mothers simply vanish from the face of the earth. In the prison, they are starved and tortured and there they die. Unknown to Mikhail, his American wife Betty escapes and goes back to America with enough hatred inside her to pursue the downfall of Mikhail and end the cruelties he imposed on mankind.

The children grow into young adults and are given every luxury and convenience known to man. They are tutored and groomed for their roles in Mikhail's dream of Russian Phoenix.

When his children turn sixteen, he begins to seriously integrate the idea of Russian Phoenix into their daily study regimen. Each child is observed, carefully noting their physical stature, personalities, weaknesses, strengths and unique abilities. Then their special abilities are emphasized and developed to the maximum.

Mikhail's favorite son, John, the son of his American wife Betty, has been listening too much to his tutor who fills his head with negative thoughts about Russian Phoenix. Unable to change his mind, Mikhail assassinates him in front of his siblings. The assassination is a fake, Mikhail secretly sends him off to the United States to further his education, enter law school and eventually end up in a high government position. John's position in Russian Phoenix will be to assist Mikhail in counter espionage information during the birth of New Russia.

When his other children turn 26, they have been trained to assume high government, military, finance, intelligence and assassin positions in the Russian Phoenix dream. The Andropopovs travel to Iceland and invade the island. Iceland will become their New Russia. They land a massive army to separate the northern, eastern and western areas of Iceland from the south. They form an iron tight perimeter around the southwest area isolating the city of Reykjavik, the largest populated area, from the rest of the island and the world.

Once the invasion is discovered, President John Robinson of the United States calls together the leaders of the ruling world powers to discuss how best to assist the Icelanders in taking back their island. It is decided that each country will assign their two best special forces officers to serve in a newly formed covert military unit called the World Elite Force.

Mai Lu, Mikhail's Chinese daughter, betrays her family and assists the Americans in defeating the Andropopovs. A huge frontal battle ensues between the Phoenix Army and the Americans while the Elite Force team travels to Iceland with the mission of eliminating the Andropopov family.

The World Elite Force confronts Mikhail and his children in their temporary headquarters building. A deadly martial arts battle ensues and the Andropopovs are defeated, but Mikhail and his Mongol son, Tomor escape to a southern island. They are picked up by a Phoenix submarine. Russian Phoenix crashes - along with Mikhail's dream... at least for now.

There are many twists and turns throughout the novel. In the end, Mikhail who has escaped to a small island, finds a telephone and makes a call. When the phone is answered, he says, "This is your Papa. Russian Phoenix has been defeated. I will meet you in Colorado in two months. Is that convenient?" The voice on the other end says, "Yes, Papa." Without a word Mikhail hangs up and the President of the United States hangs up on the other end of the telephone.

The sequel, From the Ashes, will involve John Robinson, President of the United States, disappearing. Both he, his brothers and Mikhail undergo plastic surgery to alter their appearances. Then they escape to Montana where they buy hundreds of thousands of acres and set up the largest Land Development and Cattle Company in the world, all entirely legal.

Bo Braze spins an all-out heart-pounding thriller that pits the world against the most vicious and powerful criminal since Hitler.

The Russian Phoenix will rise again from the ashes, but it will be in the United States. The sequel, From the Ashes, continues the dream of Mikhail and his Russian Phoenix.
