The sixth installment of the best-selling series “Capitán
Alatriste,” which follows the escapades of Captain Diego
Alatriste, is seen through the eyes of a fellow privateer who
served with Alatriste in the galleys of Naples. It is a story of
skirmishes, privateers, boarded ships, killings, and sackings,
at a time when Spain was revered, feared, and hated in the
eastern seas; when the devil had no color, no name, and no
flag, and when the only thing needed to summon hell on
earth (or sea for that matter) was a Spaniard and his sword;
a time when men went about their tasks without meddling
in government, philosophical, or theological affairs; a time
when men were soldiers.

The Assassin’s Bridge
Trade Paper 9786071113658 $19.99
Naples, Rome, and Milan are some of the backdrops in
Captain Alatriste’s latest exploits. Accompanied by young
Íñigo Balboa, Alatriste is given orders to intervene in a
conspiracy critical to the Spanish Crown—a swift attack
to assassinate the Doge of Venice during the Christmas
Mass and to forcibly place a new head of government more
conducive to the Catholic King’s interests in this Italian region.
For Alatriste and his comrades, including veteran soldier
Sebastián Copons and the dangerous Moor Gurriato, among
others, the mission rapidly becomes difficult, risky, and full of
surprises—suicidal certainly, but not impossible.
