Fourth musketeer D’Artagnan discovered in Dutch church The name of D’Artagnan was immortalised by Alexandre Dumas’s The Three Musketeers, more than 100 films, a musical and even an anthropomorphic cartoon featuring swashbuckling dogs.

KEWL! 😲
D'Artagnan, finally found - perhaps. 🥰

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ [ALT TEXT: EXORDIUM, Ruler of Naught, by Sherwood Smith and Dave Trowbridge] [ALT IMAGE: Against a black background, a fire-forged rising phoenix in metal (that is gold but has bloomed at the lower edges to orange from heat) overlays a blazing golden sun. The sun is also tinted with flame orange, and the lower half of the sun is blacked out except for light reaching beyond the disk of darkness.] ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ In the revised sequel to THE PHOENIX IN FLIGHT, Brandon vlith-Arkad, who fled the Mandalic Palace and his old life only hours ahead of assassination, is now heir to the Panarchy. He wants only to rescue his father, the Panarch. But everyone wants a piece of him. The Dol’jharians, who smashed the Panarchy and took his father prisoner. A Rifter pirate and her crew, who helped him escape a doomed planet – twice – and now wonder what to do about a royal prisoner with the price of ten planets on his head. And the remnants of the government of the Thousand Suns, for whom he’d at best be an inconvenience. The chase is on, and unexpected detours await.

I can’t remember the last time I read all four books in a series back-to-back, but the Tom Swan adventures were just too much fun to put down. Kudos to Christian Cameron for giving readers a swashbuckling Indiana Jones of the 15th Century!

Hidden gem! A #swashbuckling cape and sword revenge tale full of the tropes fans of the genre enjoy. I felt immersed in the period setting with the costumes, locations, and performances.

Highly recommended
