Captain Alatriste
Captain Alatriste by Arturo Perez-Reverte
Set in 17th century Spain at the height of its global power, this is a fast-paced adventure with a vivid sense of the time and culture. Captain Diego Alatriste, veteran of Spain’s
wars in the Netherlands, hires out his skills with a sword to make a living. Given a very dubious assignment against two mysterious English travelers, he has a change of heart which sets in motion intrigues between different factions, all of which place him in dire jeopardy. This fast paced, swashbuckling, story is the first book in a best-selling five
book sequence translated from the Spanish.
