A review by carmenere
Captain Alatriste by Arturo Pérez-Reverte

3.0

17th century tale involving sword for hire, Captain Alatriste. He agrees to a job involving British travelers. When the job falls apart, the Captain is on the run and in a little bit of trouble. A decent first novel in this series. Reminds me, for some reason, of the Clint Eastwood Spaghetti Westerns where the lead character is a good guy at heart who kills when it's necessary.
