Summary: More, more, more...
Comment: Just finished the fourth of this magical saga of adventures and I cannot wait to purchase the next couple of tomes! Once again suspense crawls with a slow and patient pace, characters are resuscitated from Velázquez's canvases, the narrative borrows conspicuously Cervantine sketches, and the action episodes sprawl spontaneously with diminutely described fencing and brawling scenes. Do Pérez-Reverte's books get published in English? Such Spielbergesque epic is worth its circulation in one too many a tongue.

Summary: A Riveting Perez-Reverte Piece
Comment: In "El Oro del Rey" Perez-Reverte continues the story of Iñigo Balboa and his teacher/mentor/protector Capitan Alatriste. The story has elements of suspense, danger, love, betryal, loyalty, friendship and courage, and keeps the reader so captivated that I had a hard putting down the book and wished the story would never end. In this story Iñigio is betrayed by the women he has fallen dangerosuly in love the beautiful Angelica de Alquezar and is almost killed by the infamous italian hired killer Gualterio Malatesta, only to be saved at the lsat minute by Captain Alatriste and his friends. The story continues on as Captain Alatriste puts into motion the plan to rescue the King's gold with the help of a motley group of hired men that come from the underbelly of 17th century Seville society. It is in this part of the book that Pereze-Reverte shines in his ability to not only spin a good yarn, but to use the various characters, plot, narrative and historical context to make social commentary on Spain's polticial and social development. I highly recommend this book.

Summary: Protector del Oro del Rey
Comment: Una flota proveniente de Indias está por llegar a puerto, trayendo un valioso cargamento de productos americanos y, lo más interesante, toneladas de oro. No sólo la amenazan los peligros del mar y los piratas, sino también los funcionarios corruptos de un imperio en decadencia, que quieren sacar una buena tajada. El Capitán Alatriste tiene la misión de evitar que manos ajenas a las del rey obtengan ese oro; en esta aventura estará rodeado de gente que no tiembla al empuñar la espada, como Íñigo y Quevedo. Le acompañan Sebastián Copons, un viejo soldado y compañero de fatigas en Flandes; Saramago el portugués, un hombre de leyes y letras amén de espada, que despacha almas por encargo y por necesidad; y Juan Eslava, un jienense rubicundo, bardudo y sonriente, apodado El Galán de la Alameda. Esta novela, fabulosa y embaucadora de principio a fin, llena de hondura y de realismo, es un retablo social, una crónica cultural y un personaje cuya grandeza crece al ritmo de sus hazañas.Alatriste vuelve de la ciudad de Breda para continuar con sus desventuras en una ciudad española conocida por los lectores de Arturo gracias a "La piel del tambor". En Sevilla Alatriste se reencontrará con la realidad de su patria, con los peligros acechantes de sus enemigos y con su propio destino final.
