Twenty Years After
by Alexandre Dumas
Twenty years have passed since the famous fencers defeated Cardinal Richelieu and Gregorian in the Three Musketeers. Time weakened their determination and disloyalized their loyalty. But betrayals and strategists still cry for justice: in England, Cromwell threatens to send Charles I to the dock, while civil war threatens the throne of France. Dumas takes his immortal quartet out of retirement and in time surpasses his swords, the evil will of the people, and the powers of history. But their greatest test is Milady's colossal struggle against her son, who wears the face of evil.
