Rendition In Pursuance Of Books El Dorado: Further Adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel (The Scarlet Pimpernel (chronological order) #7)
The elusive Pimpernel returns for another swashbuckling adventure in El Dorado. The still-raging French Revolution continues to claim lives, and the shadow of the guillotine draws ever nearer to the young Dauphin, son of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. No one dares to attempt to liberate the little prince — no one, that is, but the mysterious Sir Percy Blakeney, also known as the Scarlet Pimpernel. Sir Percy takes on one of Robespierre's agents, the scheming Citizen Chauvelin, in a suspenseful blend of action and political intrigue, recounted with captivating period detail.

Probably one of the best installments im the series, and it really gets back to the emotional and psychological aspects that made me like the original.Baroness Emmuska Orczy could probably have written this entire story using a quarter of the words. She likes long, descriptive pasages where sinews nearly break with passion. El Dorado was a good story, maybe even one of the better ones, but not totally my favorite. It was nice having some more of Margurite. I just got a little annoyed with Sir Percy, though. He's always running off and saving people and ignoring his poor wife. He wasn't at his best in this book.Otherwise, another rollicking
Roll up your sleeves and get ready to dive into another adventure with Sir and Lady Blakeney! Dont ask me what a Spanish sounding title has to do with a story of the French Revolution. I havent figured it out yet. Anyway, here is the review.Only one thing matters more to Sir Percy Blakeney than his wife, Marguerite. His honor. And his honor is bound to his newest mission. The French revolutionaries hold their young prince captive. The young Dauphins life is in danger, and Sir Percy (also known
The first time I read this, I felt it dragged on a bit compared to the original The Scarlet Pimpernel. However, right now I am making my way through *all* of Orczy's Pimpernel books. Eldorado blows I Will Repay and The Elusive Pimpernel out of the water, hands down. It has all your favorite characters interacting in a variety of ways, and a complex plot. The original is, of course, still the best.
Another suspenseful novel about the Scarlet Pimpernel...The Scarlet Pimpernel is embarking on one of his most daring rescues - to liberate the Dauphin (the crown prince of France) from prison. He and his comrades arrive in Paris, and are given strict orders they need follow as part of this venture.For the first time since the Scarlet Pimpernel rescued him in the first novel, Armand is allowed to join them on this dangerous venture. However, his impetous nature causes him to disobey his leader in
I loved this book just as much as the first one! The beginning is a little slower, and Armond drove me nuts. While I could see why he got everyone into so much trouble, it also earned a lot of forehead slapping because it was so obviously the wrong choice. Once the POV mostly switched over to Marguerite, the pace picked up. Once again, the Scarlet Pimpernel pulls off a daring rescue even while it seems impossible for him to escape. There was a little more language in this book than the first
