The novel's fast-moving story is set in the royal court of Louis XIII, where the swaggering King's Musketeers square off against their rivals: the crimson-clad Guards of the dreaded Cardinal Richelieu. The Red Duke rules France with an iron hand in the name of King Louis--and of Queen Anne, who dares a secret love affair with France's enemy, England's Duke of Buckingham. Into this royal intrigue leaps the brash d'Artagnan, a young swordsman from the provinces determined to find fame and fortune in Paris. Bo

Industry Reviews

Dumas's trademark gifts at crafting engaging historical romances are amply in evidence in this lengthy yet fast-paced volume. Ellsworth's translation captures a complete narrative. A very entertaining epic. There is swash and buckle aplenty, and even plumage if that's what does it for you. And it is great fun. The classic French epic in a new translation by Lawrence Ellsworth brings freshness to the story of d?'Artagnan and his pals. The Red Sphinx is a vivid and beautifully-crafted story dense with colorful characters and an irresistible charm. --Tony Cliff, author of the 'New York Times' bestselling "Delilah Dirk" graphic novels [praise for 'The Red Sphinx'] The Red Sphinx is wonderful. There's plot and counter-plot, duels, passion, murder, romance, disguises, poets and assassins. Readable and compelling. The Red Sphinx sparkles and shines in a new translation. Races along with pointed humor and broad quips. Fun permeates this big book. The rest of 2017's fiction will have to look sharp: An old master has just set the bar very, very high.
