The Forty-Five Guardsmen


Gelesen von John Van Stan

(4.6 stars; 52 reviews)

The sequel to "Chicot the Jester" and final book of the "Valois Romances." This story begins six years after the famed "Duel of the Mignons" between the favorites of the courts of King Henry III and Henry the Duke of Guise (somewhat allied with the King's brother, Francis, Duke of Anjou and Alencon). Dumas concludes his historical fiction on the War of the Three Henries while (1) detailing the formation of the Forty-Five Guardsmen (who were to become the Musketeers), (2) following Chicot the Jester as he stays loyal to the failing regency of King Henry III, and (3) continuing the story of Diana (a principal character in the previous book). - Summary by jvanstan (15 hr 47 min)

An exciting conclusion


(4.5 stars)

Take notes or do your research so you can remember who everyone is as Dumas once again draws you into epic historical fiction on France. The reader once again does a great job handling a long and complex work with many challenging names and foreign words thrown in.

BUSSEY IS RIGHTLY AVENGED


(5 stars)

It is amazing that Dumas could produce so many gripping historical novels. This one is not as focused as some, but it is still a very fine story. Van Stan is a marvel!
