The King's Passport

By: Bedford-Jones, H.

"The King's Passport" is a riveting historical adventure set against the backdrop of 17th-century France, an era defined by political machinations and daring swordplay. Written by the master of pulp fiction, H. Bedford-Jones, the narrative plunges readers into a world of secret documents, high-stakes espionage, and the omnipresent shadow of Cardinal Richelieu. The story centers on a powerful artifact-a passport signed by the King himself-which becomes the catalyst for a series of breathless escapades involving escape from the Bastille and encounters with the legendary Cyrano de Bergerac.

As the protagonist navigates a web of loyalties and betrayals, the novel captures the romantic and perilous spirit of the age. With its fast-paced plot and vivid historical atmosphere, "The King's Passport" remains a quintessential example of the swashbuckling genre. It offers a compelling blend of chivalry and intrigue, making it an essential read for fans of classic historical fiction and tales of heroic adventure. This work showcases Bedford-Jones's ability to weave historical figures into a fictional tapestry that is as immersive as it is entertaining.
