Summary

En esta cuarta entrega de «Las aventuras del capitán Alatriste», que acontece en Sevilla en 1626, el capitán recibe tras su regreso de Flandes el encargo de reclutar a un pintoresco grupo de bravos espadachines para una peligrosa misión.

Sevilla, 1626. A su regreso de Flandes, donde han participado en el asedio y rendición de Breda, el capitán Alatriste y el joven mochilero Íñigo Balboa reciben el encargo de reclutar a un pintoresco grupo de bravos espadachines para una peligrosa misión, relacionada con el contrabando del oro que los galeones españoles traen de las Indias. Los bajos fondos de la turbulenta ciudad andaluza, el corral de los Naranjos, la cárcel real, las tabernas de Triana, los arenales del Guadalquivir, son los escenarios de esta nueva aventura, donde los protagonistas reencontrarán traiciones, lances y estocadas, en compañía de viejos amigos y de viejos enemigos.

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

From international bestselling author Arturo Pérez-Reverte comes the fourth adventure of Captain Alatriste in the “series [that] recalls the great adventure novels of Dumas and Scott”(The New York Times).

Seville, 1626. After serving with honor at the bloody siege of Breda, Captain Alatriste and his protégé, Iñigo Balboa, accept a risky job involving a dozen swordsmen and mercenaries at their command, a dazzling amount of contraband gold, and a heavily guarded Spanish galleon returning from the West Indies. The job offer comes from the king himself, for at stake is nothing less than the Spanish Crown, and its dominion over the wealth of the Americas. But for Alatriste, a very personal surprise awaits him on that galleon.
