Alexandre Dumas's brilliant novel 'Twenty Years After'—a tale of honor and pride, courage and love, faithful blades and true hearts—was written immediately after and is a direct sequel to 'The Three Musketeers.' It offers just as much wit, entertainment, and unexpected twists as the first book. The adventures of the brave musketeers—d'Artagnan, Athos, Porthos, and Aramis—continue amid daunting historical events that have scattered these loyal friends on opposite sides of the barricades.
