The Lost King |
| Louis XVII, the Lost Dauphin of France, his tragic youth, his mysterious disappearance, and the bold attempts, after his supposed death, to place an imposter on the French throne, form the subject of this new and vivid Sabatini tale -- one that carries on the romantic story of French Revolutionary history, begun with "Scaramouche" and pursued through "Scaramouche the King-Maker" and "Venetian Masque." ... The imprisonment of the Boy King in the Temple, his kidnapping and flight into Germany, the night of confusion when a sudden storm on Lake Leman swallows his identity, and later the plots and counterplots woven about him -- this is perfect material for one of Sabatini's most absorbing tales of adventure. |
