Twenty Years After

By: Alexandre Dumas

Narrated by: Frederick Davidson

Originally published in 1845 as a sequel to The Three Musketeers, Twenty Years After is a supreme creation of suspense and heroic adventure.

Two decades have passed since the three 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. 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.

Overall, enjoyable.

The reader was not as expressive as one would have hoped. Overall, it was enjoyable and an interesting story. Last bed the mental images shown by the author.

Fantastic sequel

 A delightful listen! Perfect follow up book!  A must listen! The narrator was excellent and he did the character’s voices justice. 

Even better than the 3 Musketeers!

While I really don't care as much for the narrator's voice, the book is excellent!

A great revisit of great characters

I loved the story. I would have loved the whole thing, if the narrator hadn't chosen a grating, aggressive, pretentious voice for D'Artagnan. It's the kind of voice usually used for the antagonist, the voice of someone you instantly dislike.

bad narrator

this was a great story almost as good as the first but the narrator did a horrible job in the way he read characters voices
