After serving with honor at the bloody siege of Breda, Captain Alatriste and his protégé, Inigo Balboa have returned: battle-weary, short of cash, and with few prospects for honest work. But the Spanish empire is as dangerous as ever, and it’s not long before Alatriste receives an intriguing offer of short-term employment. He and Inigo must recruit a dozen swordsmen and mercenaries for a risky job involving a dazzling amount of contraband gold and a heavily guarded Spanish galleon returning from the West Indies. The 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. From the seedy taverns and teeming prisons of Seville to the sand dunes of Guadalquivir, Alatriste, Inigo and their motley band of cutthroats embark on a new adventure, one that brings them surprising new alliances, and perilous encounters with old enemies. 2303008 book 12 2000 El oro del rey (Adventures of Captain Alatriste #4) total:135|5:32|4:51|3:45|2:6|1:1| 135 512 192 19 4 0 false false Mon Dec 15 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Nov 27 09:02:25 -0800 2008 Tue Dec 16 13:09:53 -0800 2008 Captain Alatriste series by Perez-Reverte.
