{{Tr|W. H. G. Kingston}}. Edits to this translation by an unknown hand, based on comparison of the opening sentences. This (edited) translation begins: "'Sire, a fresh dispatch from Tomsk.' 'Is the wire cut beyond that city?' 'Yes, sire, since yesterday.' 'Telegraph hourly to Tomsk, General, and let me be kept posted on all that occurs.' 'Sire, it shall be done,' answered General Kissoff."

  • Title as given on the cover adds the subtitle "Courier to the Czar," but title page, copyright page, and spine omit the subtitle.
  • "Pyramid Books Edition 1957." Month of publication not stated.
  • Cover art is credited to Tom Ryan on the back cover; no signature found on the artwork.
  • The translator and editor are not stated. This has only a minor variation from the Kingston translation (comparing only the opening few sentences) and so is assumed to be that translation, with editing done afterwards by an unknown person.
