Summary: Almost as good as the original
Review: Although Percy only appears briefly in this book, Marguerite only as imagined by Percy, and Chauvelin not at all, this book is definately worthy of it's predicessor. A young girl is bound by an oath forced on her by a mentally unstable father to avenge the murder of her brother in 1783. Ten years later, her intended victim rescues her from a mob and she secures the oppertunity to denounce her sworn enemy to the Committee of Public Safety, only to discover that she has fallen in love with him. This book only lacks one thing the rest of the series has: Chauvelin.

Summary: A Really Good Read
Review: For anyone that has read the other Scarlet Pimpernel books, you must read this one. It's in the same sprit as the others, but it concerns a Citizen-Deputy for Revolutionary France and a daughter of a aristo. If you have read "The Elusive Pimpernel", you will know about Juliette Marny. This is her story. Although Sir Percy plays a smaller part in this book than any of the others, since it is concerned with Juliette and Paul, he is there and of course comes to the rescue of these two just in time. It might get off to a little bit of a slow start but it picks up very nicely. Overall, a very good addition to anyone's library that loves the Pimpernel series.

This book contains page after page of suspense you won't want to put down!

Summary: The Adventure Continues!
Review: The adventure continues with the Scarlet Pimpernel back in France again to rescue innocent people from the guillotine. This book lacks nothing in adventure, excitement, and plot. The only disappointment in this book - and it is a minor one - is that the Scarlet Pimpernel himself is relegated to a secondary role. Even so, the good guy carries the day!

Summary: Captivating and enthralling. An action-packed adventure.
Review: This book captures the feeling of France during the revolutionary years. It has a tense feeling of excitement and although old, it is still a good read for today. The language is easy to follow and not at all complicated. In the story we again follow the escapades of the Scarlet Pimpernel as he tries to free the French aristocrats from prison. In this book a young girls bent on revenge leads the republican Chauvelin to the heart of the league of the Scarlet Pimpernel, with some disastrous effects. I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and could not put it down, even though I am only 14!

Summary: Only imagine
Review: This book is great for a few reasons, namely that it focuses more on someone OTHER than the Pimpernel (don't get me wrong -he's cool, too, but it's not really his story). This time, SP is only a help in a story where Juliette Marny (the heroine) is determined to right a wrong done to her brother (alas, deceased). When the opportunity comes, she takes it, only to find that she has fallen for the man she swore to bring down. So does it work out? It all takes a little thinking, some tender memories and lots of pluck from Sir Percy, our heroine and her beloved, with Chauvelin and the revolutionary tribunal on their heels to make a great read.

Summary: Promises Kept---
Review: What do you do when your greatest hate becomes your greatest love? Over the body of her dead brother, Juliette Marny's father has made her swear a blood oath. But, upon fulfilling her duties, she realizes all too late that she is in love. Now, she will sacrifice her name and honor to save him from the guillotine. In this novel, Sir Percy is a supporting character who is both "the savior" and "the voice of reason." Percy argues that idealizing a woman is not, in reality, loving her in the truest sense. "Fall at the feet of your idol an you wish, but drag her down to your level after that--the only level she should ever reach, that of your heart."
