• "Friendship throws out deep roots in honest hearts, D'Artagnan. Believe me, it is only the evil-minded who deny friendship; they cannot understand it."
• "Now an enemy is never so near and consequently so threatening, as when he has completely disappeared."
• "Women and doors - did I not tell you, friend Porthos, that they are always to be managed by gentleness? - D'Artagnan"

― Alexandre Dumas, Twenty Years After

With his bass voice and vocal flair, narrator Bill Homewood transports listeners to France, where we meet D'Artagnan 20 years after his adventures in THE THREE MUSKETEERS. Cardinal Mazarin, the power behind the throne, summons D'Artagnan and commands him to find his former friends, Athos, Aramis, and Porthos. France is on the brink of a civil war, and England is in turmoil, so the hated Mazarin needs someone to do his bidding. Will the musketeers respond, or will honor, loyalty, and their fraternal bond transcend the turbulent times and the cardinal's machinations? Homewood's expressive voice, with its wide range, pairs perfectly with this story about adventure and intrigue. His pronunciation of French words adds pizzazz, and his vocal agility gives each character a unique voice. A.M. © AudioFile 2025, Portland, Maine
