Twenty Years After (Paperback)

1898. Twenty Years After is the sequel to The Three Musketeers. Two decades have passed since the famous swordsmen triumphed over Cardinal Richelieu and Milady in The Three Musketeers. Time has weakened their resolve, and dispersed their loyalties. But treasons and stratagems still cry out for justice: civil war endangers the throne of France, while in England, Cromwell threatens to send Charles I to the scaffold. Dumas brings his immortal quartet out of retirement to cross swords with time, the malevolence of men, and the forces of history. But their greatest test is the titanic struggle with the son of Milady who wears the face of evil. Due to the age and scarcity of the original we reproduced, some pages may be spotty, faded or difficult to read. See other titles by this author available from Kessinger Publishing.
