Fiction: Captain Alatriste

I'm finally getting back to reading Captain Alatriste. I started it a while back, but life got in the way and I had to put it down. My copy got hidden in our last, frantic move (we are still not fully unpacked) and was recently found. I'm looking forward to jumping back in, particularly since I now know the identity of the 2 Englishmen.
