From AudioFile
Published in 1906, this tale of high romance and intrigue, set during the bloodiest days of the French Revolution, is the first of several sequels to The Scarlet Pimpernel. It has aged well. Johanna Ward is fun to listen to. She puts the author's rather melodramatic prose in the best possible light by reading with restraint, gravity and authority. She also renders fluently the frequent names and phrases in French. Although character voices are not highly differentiated, it's always clear who's speaking and how he or she feels. Good production values top off the welcome reappearance of an old friend. J.N. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine

The Adventure Continues!,
By
This review is from: I Will Repay (Hardcover)
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!

Only imagine,
By "teencynic" (Nicosia, Cyprus) - See all my reviews
This review is from: I Will Repay (Hardcover)
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.

Promises Kept---,
This review is from: I Will Repay (Hardcover)
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."
