En esta quinta entrega de Las aventuras del capitan Alatriste Diego Alatriste e Inigo Balboa se enfrentaran entre estocadas e intrigas palaciegas a una conspiracion en la corte de Felipe IV. El caballero del Jubon amarillo se desarrolla en el mundo de los corrales de comedias del... Madrid del siglo XVII. En esta ocasion Diego Alatriste volvera a cruzarse con viejos amigos y viejos enemigos, y con los personajes famosos de la epoca como Lope de Vega, Calderon de la Barca y el capitan Alonso Contreras. Lances, estocadas, intrigas palaciegas y aventuras amorosas salpican un relato de accion trepidante. Don Francisco de Quevedo me dirigio una mirada que interprete como era debido, pues fui detras del capitan Alatriste. Avisame si hay problemas, habian dicho sus ojos tras los lentes quevedescos. Dos aceros hacen mas papel que uno. Y asi, consciente de mi responsabilidad, acomode la daga de misericordia que llevaba atravesada al cinto y fui en pos de mi amo, discreto como un raton, confiando en que esta vez pudieramos terminar la comedia sin estocadas y en paz, pues habria sido bellaca afrenta estropearle el estreno a Tirso de Molina. Yo estaba lejos de imaginar hasta que punto la bellisima actriz Maria de Castro iba a complicar mi vida y la del capitan, poniendonos a ambos en gravisimo peligro; por no hablar de la corona del rey Felipe IV, que esos dias anduvo literalmente al filo de una espada. Todo lo cual me propongo contar en esta nueva aventura, probando asi que no hay locura a la que el hombre no llegue, abismo al que no se asome, y lance que el diablo no aproveche cuando hay mujer hermosa de por medio.
