Description
Greg Rich has traveled through time, become one of the legendary Musketeers, and-most recently-prevented the Spanish army from attacking Paris. He should feel invincible. Instead, he and his friends languish in prison, having stumbled into a trap set by Milady and the Prince of Conde. But Greg didn't come to the seventeenth century to sit in a jail cell and await execution. He, Aramis, Athos, and Porthos are Musketeers, and King Louis is in immediate danger of being overthrown. Amid narrow escapes, flying arrows, and fiery explosions, the Musketeers battle to save the king-and history itself. Because if the past changes, what happens to Greg's future The Last Musketeer #3: Double Cross brings the swashbuckling series to an epic conclusion that will have readers cheering, "All for one, and one for all!"

ReviewsPraise for THE LAST MUSKETEER: "From the gripping first sentence...the excitement never flags in this newly imagined Musketeer adventure. Using Alexandre Dumas' stories as a jumping-off point, Gibbs mixes fact, fantasy and thrills to create a galloping swashbuckler." -- Kirkus Reviews Praise for THE LAST MUSKETEER: "Gibbs deftly packs an abundance of historical detail into a lively narrative that captures the swashbuckling spirit of Dumas's original. Full of jovial humor, narrow escapes, sorcery, and intrigue." -- School Library Journal Praise for THE LAST MUSKETEER: "[An] action-packed tale." -- Publishers Weekly Praise for THE LAST MUSKETEER: "Gibbs' playful, action-packed twist on the classic novel includes plenty of humor as Greg attempts to fit into medieval life. An entertaining premise and high adventure." -- ALA Booklist
