About this listen

Gear up for swashbuckling adventure in the second “riveting”* historical thriller in the internationally acclaimed Captain Alatriste series.

The fearless Alatriste is hired to infiltrate a convent and rescue a young girl forced to serve as a powerful priest’s concubine. The girl’s father is barred from legal recourse as the priest threatens to reveal that the man’s family is “not of pure blood” and is, in fact, of Jewish descent—which will all but destroy the family name. As Alatriste struggles to save the young hostage from being burned at the stake, he soon finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a conspiracy that leads all the way to the heart of the Spanish Inquisition.

Good listening.

The performance is lively and fun. There is never a dull moment. I was left wanting for more, and sad that the next book isn't yet available.

Extremely Repetitive

This is the second book in the series I’ve consumed and the very last. The story was so unbelievably repetitive and boring. More, the incessant voice of the narrator reminded me of Templeton the rat in the TV classic “Charlotte’s Web.” Cut your losses and make the first book in this series your last.
