Traitor's Chase (The Last Musketeer Series #2)

by Stuart Gibbs

Overview

Greg Rich is beginning to get the hang of things in 1615 Paris. Having assumed the identity of a young D'Artagnan, Greg united the legendary three Musketeers and succeeded in freeing his parents from a dank prison cell. But he hasn't figured out how to get home. Or how to defeat the dangerous Michel Dinicoeur.

When Dinicoeur escapes from the Bastille and flees to Spain, the Musketeers charge through the French countryside in hot pursuit. The boys are unexpectedly joined by Milady de Winter and her friend Catherine. Along the way, the group is ambushed by knife-wielding thieves and assassins. Someone is anticipating their every move. But who? And how?

There appears to be a traitor in their ranks, and if the Musketeers can't trust each other, who can they trust? It's "All for one, and one for all!" . . . Isn't it?

Editorial Reviews

Gr 4–7—This series entry can serve as a fine stand-alone as Gibbs offers enough backstory for readers to determine who Greg Rich is and how he traveled back in time to Paris in the 1600s to join up with the Three Musketeers. This time around, Greg is determined to undermine the sinister and immortal Michel Dinicoeur, who holds the key to Greg's ability to time travel and Dinocoeur's immortality: the Devil's Stone. The fast-paced, well-researched novel draws readers in immediately and once there, they may find it hard to leave. There is plenty of action, intrigue, and even a hint of romance as Greg navigates the ins and outs of medieval life and continues his ruse as a teen from Artagnan. Strong female characters in the form of Catherine and Milady de Winter provide a nice balance to the otherwise male-dominated tale. Catherine in particular stands out as a young woman before her time, with her strong interest in battle and her streak of independence, and Milady is wonderful as a wolf in sheep's clothing. Greg's position as that of someone who is responsible for preventing history-changing events further adds to the excitement, and readers are left with a cliff-hanger of an ending that assures a return visit of the Musketeers. Fans of this series will be well served in reading Alexandre Dumas's original. A great addition to any collection.Mary Beth Rassulo, Ridgefield Library, CT
