If you are to read the complete text of this novel, you will find a subpar 19th century adventure novel. It WAS NOT, however, actually written by Alexandre Dumas! His name was used illegally by a number of authors and publishers in the late 1800's to sell supposed sequels to some of his most famous books (see "Daughter of Monte Cristo.") All of them are poor imitations of the original. Buyer beware! Order instead the five books which make up the true Musketeer cycle. You can get great Oxford University Press full-text paperbacks from Amazon. Long live Dumas!

This is unlike ANY Musketeer book Dumas has written. It seems to be more of a story that takes place in Portugal with D';Artagnan and Porthos "thrown in" to put D'Artagnan's name on the book to sell copies.

I know it wasn't written by Dumas, but it is an interesting book
for those who like the 17TH century

A must read for any book fan worth his salt... a masterful book.... I loved it tremndously......
The story is about , as most of you will know , D'Artagnan , who comes from the district of Gascon to the city to become a musketeer and his adventures with the new friends he makes from the King's musketeers.......

I recommend this book to everyone......
