The master of high adventure and romance. Perhaps even better than the 3 Musketeers; his characters and villains are so well-developed. Bravo!

While "The Three Musketeers" remains a classic, "Twenty Years After" is the superior work. The stakes are higher, the intrigue is richer, and tight bonds of friendship are tested. While there are no antagonists of the caliber of Milady and Richelieu, Mordaunt is a worthy opponent in his own right. An excellent follow-up to a literary classic!
