Captain Alatriste by Arturo Perez-
Reverte
One Of Perez-Reverte's Best
The first in a magnificent series of historical novels from the acclaimed,
bestselling author of The Club Dumas and The Queen of the South
The novels of Arturo Pérez-Reverte have captivated readers around the
world and earned him a reputation as the master of the intellectual thriller
(Chicago Tribune). His books have been published in fifty countries. Now,
beginning with Captain Alatriste, comes Pérez- Reverte’s most stunning
creation to date: a riveting series featuring the adventures of an iconic
hero. Captain Alatriste is the story of a fictional seventeenth-century
Spanish soldier who lives as a swordsman-for-hire in Madrid. Needing
gold to pay off his debts, Alatriste and another hired blade are paid to
ambush two travelers, stage a robbery, and give the travelers a fright. No
blood, they are told. Then a mysterious stranger enters to clarify the job:

he increases the pay, and tells Alatriste that, instead, he must murder the
two travelers. When the attack unfolds, Alatriste realizes that these aren’t
ordinary travelers, and what happens next is only the first in a riveting
series of twists and turns, with implications that will reverberate
throughout the courts of Europe.
Personal Review: Captain Alatriste by Arturo Perez-Reverte
Do not listen to Mona Lisa. An excellent historical fiction, written with class
and style. The story is entertaining, a definite page turner. Perez-Reverte
is one of the best European authors today. I am reading book two, Purity of
Blood, now and also love it. Have read Flander's Panel the Club Dumas
also.
