It is May 1660 and the fate of nations is at stake. Mazarin plots, Louis XIV is in love, and Raoul de Bragelonne, son of Athos, is intent on serving France and winning the heart of Louise de la Valliere.

D'Artagnan, meanwhile, is perplexed by a mysterious stranger, and soon he learns that his old comrades already have great projects in hand. Athos seeks the restoration of Charles II, while Aramis, with Porthos in tow, has a secret plan involving a masked prisoner and the fortification of the island of Belle-Ile.

D'Artagnan finds a thread leading him to the French court, the banks of the Tyne, the beaches of Holland, and the dunes of Brittany.

"I would sit down with The Vicomte de Bragelonne for a long, silent, solitary, lamplit evening by the fire." (Robert Louis Stevenson)

What did you love best about The Vicomte de Bragelonne?

The way Alexandre Dumas wove characters in this series together.

Who was your favorite character and why?

D'Artagnan is always my favorite character. He's a bit impulsive.

Which character – as performed by Simon Vance – was your favorite?

D'Artagnan.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When D'Artagnan & Raoul (The Vicomt) fought together against the uprising.

Any additional comments?

I wanted to read the four Dumas novels in sequence. I naturally thought 10 years after was the second in the series. It was the third.

Beware the 10 yrs after is after the 20 yrs after

This book is filled with political entries of the royal court. It lacks the swashbuckle of previous Dumas writings about our heroes. The story bemoans times seeming
different time, as this book reflects a different time, but same Dumas style.

I thoroughly enjoyed this story...that is to say the part which I listened to. The description of this book leads one to believe that it's the entire novel. However, it was broken into two parts and the second part "Louise de la Valliere" is not yet available on Audible. I am rather annoyed because I have no idea now when I'll be able to see how the story ended. If you like to hear a complete story like me, ensure that the second half is available before downloading this book. That being said, if the second half is as good as the first then I would definitely recommend this.

Yes, it is entertaining. And very interesting reading, well worth your time. And of course Simon Vance is the master. So the narrator does the author justice. However in addition, I am constantly amazed at the subtle wit and humor blended into the story which illuminates how people to this day really think and are motivated to act. I suppose what I am trying to say is that I have learned something about myself, my own character, my own condition, and maybe I don't take myself so seriously having benefited from reading Dumas. Take a moment to read about the author's life and the life of his father, it is fascinating.

Dumas created a literary style with strong echoes heard today.

After reading The Count of Monte Cristo and The Three Musketeers, I could completely understand why everyone I know loves the work of Alexandre Dumas. I thought that this book might be greatly inferior to Dumas's better-known work, but this guy can't seem to write a terrible story.

Humor, action, memorable characters - the more Dumas I read, the more of it I want to read. These books have really aged well, and I see their fingerprints everywhere I look in fantasy and sci-fi.

I wish I'd known this is kind of The Three Musketeers Part 3 before I went and spoiled bits of Twenty Years Later, which came in between the two books. I thought this was a standalone like The Count of Monte Cristo, but I was incorrect. I could have gotten that tidbit of information from Wikipedia, and I'll soon fill that gap in the narrative, but it is unfortunate that this wasn't described as a sequel in the write-up here on Audible.

Why didn't I read this stuff sooner

I love the audio book, listen to it on my daily commute and when I come home I continue reading the physical book. The series of the three musketeers is beautifully written, the narrator does a brilliant job doing all the voices for the various characters. These books are a very good glimpse into the realities of a different time. Wonderfully written

Amazing ! Alexander Dumas is incredible !
