Scaramouche the King-Maker |
| Set amid the turmoil of the French Revolution, this story picks up where Scaramouche left off: Andre-Louis Moreau and Aline de Kercadiou have escaped from the Terror, and Moreau has renounced his revolutionary ways. Even more, his love for Aline has made him espouse the royalist cause, and he goes back into danger and adventure to help it. Danton, Robespierre, Francois Chabot, all play their parts in this great historical novel. Before your eyes Marie Antoinette is guillotined and Robespierre pales as he discovers the treachery of his lieutenant. Through it all Scaramouche, former Paladin of the People, now the deadliest enemy of Robespierre and his bloodthirsty followers, dominates the turbulent scene as he gambles with death for the sake of his King and his beloved Aline. But will he be betrayed by the less-than-worthy nobles he seeks to help? The reader finishes the book feeling that in the dashing guise of Scaramouche he has ridden the whirlwind and guided the destiny of the French Revolution. |
