Book Description:
The stunning continuation of the timeless classic The Phantom of the Opera.
In The Phantom of Manhattan, acclaimed, bestselling suspense novelist Frederick Forsyth pens a magnificent work of historical fiction, rife with the insights and sounds of turn-of-the-century New York City, while continuing the dramatic saga which began with Gaston Leroux's brilliant novel The Phantom of the Opera...
More than two decades have passed since Antoinette Giry, the mistress of the corps de ballet at the Paris Opera, rescued a hideously disfigured boy named Erik from a carnival and brought him to live in the labyrinthine cellars of the opera house. Soon thereafter, his intense, unrequited love for a beautiful chorus girl set in motion a tragic string of events, forcing him to flee Paris forever. Now, as she lies dying in a convent, Madam Giry tells the untold story of the Phantom and his clandestine journey to New York City to start anew, where he would become a wealthy entrepreneur and build the glorious Manhattan Opera House... all so he could see his beloved, now a famous diva, once again. But the outcome of her visit would prove even more devastating than before -- and yet, would allow the Phantom to know, for the first time in his brutal life, the true meaning of love...

Wow! This is an awesome book! I normally read romances, it takes a really good book to keep my attention if it's not a romance. The Phantom of Manhattan did just that! It is the ultimate fanfiction, well written and beautifully depicted words, I have yet to read Leroux's POTO, but have just picked it up at my local library, can't wait to read the original, I am a huge fan of Andrew Lloyd Weber's Phantom of The Opera film and will soon weigh the differences. If you want to know what happens after The Phantom of The Opera, then this is the book for you, If you haven't seen the film, broadway show, or read Leroux's POTO wait on this read, I will somewhat spoil the beginning of the story for you. Enjoy this read! I know I did!

"The Phantom of the Opera escapes to the U.S. and becomes a ruthless multimillionaire, still masked and obsessed with the singer Christine. Then a letter from Paris changes his life. What happens next is told from various perspectives, each of which advances the plot...The soft-voiced phantom, the snobby columnist, the evil Darius-each adds color to the story while painting a vivid portrait of early twentieth-century New York. The dialogue on human nature between the priest and God hits the heights dramatically... " AudioFile 2000, Portland, Maine--
