Twenty Years After

excellent

Up to Dumas' usual standard, this is the sequel to his acclaimed The Three Musketeers which consists of five books, ending with The Man in the Iron Mask. Lovers of the first book will certainly like this one.

No price written on the book hence I doubt about its original price, other than that the book is awesome, should be read!

Dumas' adventure novels are such good reads! In my opinion, the Three Musketeers is beyond comparison for an adventure book, but its sequel Twenty Years After comes close.

I love it......................!

I love d'Artagnan and how he relates to his friends and life.This is a wonderful continuation of the Three Musketeers as more mature men, but still very much themselves. I thoroughly enjoyed it and this was the second time I read it. Dumas writes dialogue so well. The dialogue between d'Artagnan and the queen toward the end of the book is exceptional as are various dialogues as the 3 friends adjust to the changes they experience in each other. This is an exciting romp through a specific time in history.

The second in The Musketeers trilogy and another barnstorming book from Dumas. Just great; story and characters. Recommended after the first part - The Three Musketeers.

A simply splendid book, of course, the first sequel to The Three Musketeers. Amongst other things, the Musketeers are asked by the French wife of Charles I of England to save him from execution by Cromwell and co. Of course they don't manage it as that'd change history, but they have a good try. As in all the later books, Aramis is very much a guiding force, and often against d'Artagnan. Aramis has schemes for the future, not just for his own advancement but at the same time to benefit society. Unfortunately d'Artagnan is the servant of the rather objectionable young Louis XIV and in this book his mother Anne of Austria and the Cardinal Mazarin. They send a message to Cromwell. The other musketeers are out to save Cromwell's enemy the King.
