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?

It's been a couple of months since Greg Rich and his parents get trapped in 1615 France. While a member of the fledgling Musketeers, he is still hunting for a way to return to the modern era.But then Spanish assassins try to take out the Musketeers, and they quickly learn that it was the work of their old enemy Dinicoeur. The foursome set out to find out what he is trying to do now and stop him. But the road trip becomes contentious, and Greg begins to think there is a traitor in their midst. Is he right? If so, can they stop Dinicoeur from changing history?If you haven't read the first in the series, I suggest you start there. There's so much set up in that book. This one certainly explains things well (which served as a good reminder for me), but it also spoils much of what happened in the earlier book.Often with middles of trilogies, I feel like the story is just marking time. I didn't feel this way with this book. The story moves forward well, and what happens here reaches a great climax. The character are still entertaining as well.So if you are looking for a fun adventure story for yours kids (or you), definitely consider this book.
Enjoyed this about as much as the first one in the series. Fun middle grade adventure story. Some things in the plot are a little too coincidental, but it's the kind of story that really ought to feel that way :). Definitely one I'd recommend for tween boys as it's fast-paced and has lots of action like sword fights and chases. Looking forward to reading the next one.
It is a good follow-up to book 1. This is a perfect swashbuckling book for boys. I buy books for my grandchildren and I generally read them also.
