TITLE: Captain Alatriste
AUTHOR: Perez-Reverte, Arturo
CALL NO.: CD PER
If you are looking for a book along the lines of The Count of Monte Cristo, only shorter, this book is for you. Captain Alatriste features a swordsman-for-hire with a sense of honor that stops him from completing a job given him by masked men. This move turns out to be both a blessing and a curse. On the one hand, he gains a powerful friend, on the other, he incurs the wrath of some very dangerous men that he spends the rest of the book fighting and escaping. All in all, this book was entertaining as well as interesting because of its blend of history and adventure. A very nice read by a popular Spanish author.
