Pirates of the Levant: The Adventures of Captain Alatriste (Captain Alatriste 6)

by Arturo Perez - Reverte (Author)

Synopsis

Captain Alatriste's latest adventure - a story of skirmishes, privateers, boarded ships, swords and sackings.

'This was a time where Spain was revered, feared and hated in the easterly seas; where the devil had no colour, no name and no flag, and where the only thing needed to summon hell on earth (or sea for that matter) was a Spaniard and his sword'

Alatriste is back - this time on the high seas! Accompanied by his faithful companion Inigo, the captain joins a Spanish galleon and sets sail from Naples towards the east on a journey that will take them to Melilla, Oran, and finally Malta where they must struggle against the Turk. On board they will have many adventures, including an encounter with The Moor Gurriato. Now seventeen, Inigo is still in love with Angelica but will wisdom come with age and experience?
