Amazon Review This is a very good sequel to the well-known adventure classic. It is somewhat confusing because the book does not tell you in which order the series goes. However this is a good adventure story. All the main characters from the first book are in this sequel. Sir Percy, Marguerite, Sir Tony, Armund, Citizen Cheavalian, with the addition of several new characters. The plot begins when Sir Percy reluctantly agrees to send Armund St. Just (Marguerite's brother) to France. He warns him not to renew any friendships. Armund ignores him and renews a friendship with the scheming Baron de Bots who hates the Scarlet Pimpernel. Armund falls in love with a young actress named Citizeness L'Ange. Armund foolishly tells de Bots that he is in the league of the Scarlet Pimpernel. De Bots in turns tells Citizen Heron of the general committee of Public Safety. L'Ange is arrested and Armund behaves like a foolish idiot and disregards Sir Percy, who told him that he would rescue L'Ange. Armund runs through the street screaming "Long LIve the King" since he thinks that his place is to be arrested and executed with L'Ange and runs smack into no other than Citizen Chaeuvleain. Sir Percy is later captured and imprisoned. He is betrayed by a very close friend. Overall this was a great adventure story. The author's over exaggerated romantic descriptions sometimes become a little hard to put up with but all-in-all it is a good story.
