The Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo begins with a condensed
retelling of The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas, related
through the voice of Sherlock Holmes. It includes exhilarating new
adventures, characters, and ideas, carrying the reader through
books I and II and into book III of an ever-expanding new series
based on the classic. The author consulted the original French as
well as the oldest English translations of The Count of Monte
Cristo, but the style of the retelling, in the distinctive voice of
Sherlock Holmes, constitutes a new work. Books II and III,
incorporated herein, are wholly original sequels although they
include characters from the original classic. The author of The
Sovereign Order of Monte Cristo also consulted a more current 2003
translation by Robin Buss of the The Count of Monte Cristo, which
helped to inspire both this work and the first sequel in this
series, The Sultan of Monte Cristo. The most recent (2003)
unabridged translation by Buss is indispensable to fully appreciate
the original story. Those who have already had the pleasure of
reading The Sultan of Monte Cristo will certainly appreciate the
unique way in which the Holy Ghost Writer has expanded the original
story without the help of anyone (except perhaps from the ghosts of
Dumas and Doyle themselves). While The Count of Monte Cristo has
been enjoyed by millions as a stand-alone work, this work is an
even easier read of the original classic, as it has a condensed
version of the original story retold in the voice of Sherlock
Holmes. It also serves as a prequel to The Adventures of Sherlock
Holmes incorporating Holmes as a character in Book III of this
Special Edition.
