Editorial Review:
In this fourth installment of the adventures of Captain Alatriste, Pérez-Revertes most popular hero returns from Flanders and undertakes a dangerous mission in Seville, the most fascinating 17th Century city. He is instructed to recruit a motley group of brave swordsmen for a risky job involving the contraband gold that the Spanish galleons bring from the Indies. Description in Spanish: Sevilla, 1626. A su regreso de Flandes, donde han participado en el asedio y rendición de Breda, el capitán Alatriste y el joven mochilero Íñigo Balboa reciben el encargo de reclutar a un pintoresco grupo de bravos y espadachines para una peligrosa misión, relacionada con el contrabando del oro que los galeones españoles traen de las Indias. Los bajos fondos de la turbulenta cuidad andaluza, el corral de los Naranjos, la cárcel real, las tabernas de Triana, los arenales del Guadalquivir, son los escenarios de esta nueva aventura, donde los protagonistas reencontrarán traiciones, lances y estocadas, en compañía de viejos amigos y de viejos enemigos.

Rating: - magnifico, bueno para chicos jovenes y no tan jovenes
Leer al Capitán Alatriste en todas sus aventuras es volver a ser adolescente con un intelecto de universitario. Esta serie, nos recuerda a Alejandro Dumas, el ídolo de Reverte. En El Oro del Rey, cada página tiene una aventura y una nota histórica de la tierra madre que no fue nuestra tierra ni nuestra madre y que se llevó todas las riquezas del nuevo continente para financiar la guerra contra los moros.
Lo recomiendo igual que todos los otros seis o siete de esta serie. Advertencia: ... Read More
Rating: - Another Rip Roaring Adventure
The saga of Captain Alatriste continues, as told by his young ward, Inigo Balboa. Inigo is growing up now and taking a more active role in the adventures. And Alatriste is growing more weary, a man of immeasurable courage, but with no illusions. In this adventure, Alatriste has returned from the war in Flanders only to receive a new and equally dangerous assignment in beautiful Seville.
As in the other books, Alatriste hangs out with the lights of Spanish society and with some of the ... Read More
Rating: - More, more, more...
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 ... Read More
Rating: - A Riveting Perez-Reverte Piece
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 ... Read More
Rating: - Protector del Oro del Rey
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 ... Read More
