"THE VICOMTE STRIKES BACK AND OTHER STORIES" is the third book of the Vicomte saga and again the Vicomte d'Arganville in 1793 and Sarah Woodrow in 2006 cross over into each other's centuries to help each other through even more adventures. Of the other ten stories, four are loosely based on fact: "SEX LIVES OF SINGLE OFFICE GIRLS", "WHEN IN ROME", "GRAND JETEES" and "TIPTOE ON THE JET D'EAU". The rest are fiction: a woman leaving her obtuse Victoran husband in "A WOMAN OF CONSEQUENCE", a bluebeard murderous bigamist in "JENNIFER'S HOUSE", the revenge of a housemaid in "THE SECOND MRS. GRANVILLE", the girl who has to chose between two boyfriends in "LORRAINE'S DILEMMA", the antics of nuns in "TH SNOWMAN" and the cinematic dreams of a girl called "CHARLIE JOHNSON".
