(3) YA This light yarn is a quasi-futuristic riff on The Scarlet Pimpernel, here with an adolescent female savior, Sophia (secretly the Red Rook), smuggling aristocrats away from the guillotine in a no-longer-industrialized Paris governed with terror by the mad, Robespierre-like official, LeBlanc. Thanks to the futuristic reversion to old ways, this reads as a period romance of sorts, complete with décolletage and silken breeches.
