5.0 out of 5 stars Wow ... the Pimpernel in the narrative of French History, 16 Mar 2004
After a slow start (the part in all the books before Sir Percy comes on the scene) this book really takes off as it launches into the last days of the terror and the fall of Robespierre. Using the time honoured narrative device of placing a fictional protagonist at the heart of a real historical event, Baroness Orczy brilliantly shows how the dashing Scarlet Pimpernel was able to emply his wit, ingenuity and daring to invisibly orchestrate the fall of "the seagreen incorruptible."
Fans of the series should be happy to note that Chauvelin is once again the main villain, despite the books setting around the events of Thermidor in which he obviously has no historical place, and this is where the book truly succeeds. Yes, disregarding the ingeniuos fusion of fact and fiction what really makes this book great is the fact that it is the final confrontation between the two nemesis and although in the grand scale of things the fall of Robespierre is certain throughout, the intimate dual between the two foes has no certain conclusion.
