"For so many years, passionate fans of The Count of Monte Cristo
have suffered a loss upon finishing Alexandre Dumas' last words. It
is a grieving of sorts that has long been unmitigable... until now.
The mysterious Holy Ghost Writer has penned "The Sultan of Monte
Cristo" as a direct continuance of the story readers have long
struggled against leaving behind. The adventure-laden journeys of
Edmond Dantes continues in (Dumas') newly-honed role as
investigative reporter who publishes his (original) book as part of
(this) story. New life is breathed into those characters we all
knew and loved (or loved to hate) in the original Count of Monte
Cristo tale (what can now, finally, be referred to as Book 1).
Haydee, the infamous Villeforts, and even Countess G are lifted
from the stalemate of our beloved story and given new life, and
readers will also be introduced to a host of colorful new
characters (like the memorable Raymee) whose lives, loves, and
circumstance flow comprehensively and effortlessly through the
entire narrative. Amazingly, the prose so closely matches the mood,
tone, pacing, and richness of environment of Dumas' The Count of
Monte Cristo that this feels like the natural continuance of those
lives. The sequel manages to introduce such a microscopic view into
the full-flesh world our colorful characters engage in that readers
can't help being sucked in. We cannot help but run breathlessly
alongside them throughout the journey, to imagine the consequences
between their words, to ponder on their insights and their
woe-filled courses of action. We stand next to Mercedes as she
lives and breathes; we get that rare glimpse into the future of the
characters that Alexandre Dumas himself surely intended. Through
well-defined and multilayered plotlines, the story's laser-point
pacing, and rich character building, this work lends the quagmire
of adventures, missteps, and danger-filled mysteries a guarantee of
unforeseen, adventurous turns and cathartic "a-ha" insights. The
Holy Ghost Writer seems a literary time-traveller: the swiftness
with which he carries us straight into the 1800s is mind-boggling
and a rare feat even in the best historical fiction writing.
Excellent novel, and highly recommended " Peanut's review.
