Twenty Years After, the sequel to The Three Musketeers, is a supreme creation of suspense and heroic adventure.
Two decades have passed since the musketeers triumphed over Cardinal Richelieu and Milady.
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.
We find our heroes living individual lives apart from one another.
As dArtagnan decides that hes had enough of living in the shadows of his old exploits, and decides to take a more active role in present day politics, the current adventure begins.
After reintroducing us to each of Athos, Porthos, and Aramis as dArtagnan tries to recruit them for new adventures, Dumas sets in motion events that see our heroes intricately involved in world events that will shape the future of Europe.
Alexandre 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 a titanic struggle with the son of Milady, who wears the face of Evil.
This highly-pleasing sequel to The Three Musketeers should amuse any fan of Dumas.
With a more complex plot and a greater degree of political intrigue, TWENTY YEARS AFTER is really a more mature book than its predecessor.
One of the most interesting aspects of TWENTY YEARS AFTER is the growth of dArtagnan. From the wide-eyed and inexperienced young man of THE THREE MUSKETEERS, dArtagnan has become a seasoned and extremely confident soldier.
