More from el Capitan


I have become a complete fan of these books. They are the perfect escapist books. They are fun, full of adventure, they have a little bit of historical fact and they are well written. The adventures of el capitan Alatriste is the literary equivalent of old adventure movies like "Gunga Din" or "The Man who Would be King". You could almost read them while eating popcorn and having a soft drink. Complete and intelligent fun. A true pleasure.
