And what's in it for him? Fame? Wealth? No. Because there are values in the world that can't be replaced by the clink of metal or the rewards of cold noble hands. Honor above all else - honor and dignity. Arturo Perez-Reverte - former military journalist, celebrated author of brilliant historical, military, adventure, detective novels, translated into forty languages, the owner of the most prestigious literary awards, the cycle of Alatrista - one of the highest of his literary rise. "Captain Alatriste," wrote about the cycle of the author's colleague Alberto Montaner, "was honored to become one of those characters that entered the club of literary myths and forever settled in the collective imagination.
