Authorized edition. For a second time H. Bedford-Jones picks up musketeer d'Artagnan, the well-known literary creation of 19th-century French writer Alexandre Dumas, Sr. In this swashbuckling drama-placed shortly after the events in Dumas' The Three Musketeers- Bedford-Jones reunites the young Gascon with his old comrades-in-arms Athos, Porthos and Aramis to defend again the honor of the queen in an intrigue of Cardinal Richelieu and to secure the future of a child who will play an important role in Dumas' own continuation The Vicomte of Bragelonne: Ten Years Later.
