The novel "Twenty Years After" is a brilliant sequel to the famous trilogy by the master of historical adventure novels, Alexandre Dumas.
Twenty years have passed since the brave musketeers saved the Queen's honor by thwarting the schemes of Cardinal Richelieu and his devious spy, the beautiful Milady de Winter. Time has mercilessly scattered the friends—each now has their own life and destiny. But one day their tranquility comes to an end: the Fronde is raging in France, and King Charles I is about to be executed in England; once again, duty calls Athos, Porthos, Aramis, and d'Artagnan to serve the crown and protect the interests of their country. The friends plunge into the thick of the action, only to find, much to their surprise, that they are on opposite sides of the barricades. However, the motto of their youth, "All for one, and one for all!", triumphs over political differences, and the brave quartet sets off, against the wishes of Cardinal Mazarin, to save the noble King Charles I from the scaffold. The greatest challenge on their path will be the confrontation with Milady's son, the bitter and vengeful Mordaunt.
