Volume 2 of The d'Artagnan Romances begins twenty years after 'The Three Musketeers.' Since then, d'Artagnan's career has stagnated, he's lost touch with his friends, and the high favor earned with Queen Anne has been forgotten. His misfortune mirrors that of France, now ruled by an ineffective miser, Cardinal Mazarin, who's avarice (among other vices) fuels a rebellion. Moreover, England is mired in civil war! Can d'Artagnan do the seemingly impossible: reunite 'The Inseparables,' save the Queen and young Louis XIV from an uprising, and aid the English monarchy, all while avoiding the evil Mordaunt, son of a personal enemy long-believed to be neutralized? Well, according to d'Artagnan, 'Great people only thank you for doing the impossible; what's possible, they say, they can effect themselves.' (jvanstan)
