Title: The Thinker's Novel.
Product review: This was the first of Arturo Perez-Reverte's books that I have read. It so impressed me that, within the last 30 days, I have read all but one of the rest that are translated into English. Perez-Reverte rights a tight historical novel. He uses intelectual quotes and historical people to give the flavor of the times. His Captain Alatriste is not your typical hero, rather, he is a world weary veteran of Spain's interminable wars of the period. He is a hired sword with a conscience. I recommend this novel to anyone who likes historical novels that cause you to think.
