I signed up with a personal trainer on the day I enrolled. With my self-esteem in the toilet after my last relationship ended, I knew I had to make some life changes. I just wanted to feel better about myself. Hell, it’s not like I’m out of shape, or that I can’t run up a flight of stairs. Joining the gym wasn’t a bad idea for many reasons, one being for far too long I’ve neglected to take care of myself.

The men are also vivid, from the traumatized, silent Bernardo to the honorable, justice-driven Zorro. The women in this novel, as in all of Allende’s work, are exceptionally well drawn. The cast of characters includes everyone you’d expect in a swashbuckler, from gypsies, pirates, and swooning maidens to the token villain. Full of romance, danger, swordplay, and occasionally humor, Zorro is an Errol Flynn flick in book form. For example, a Spanish idiom translated literally in the book as “Tomas ordered Juliana to talk things over with her pillow” would have been better rendered as “sleep on it.” These are minor quibbles, however. This is an English version of the Spanish original, and at times the translation can be a bit too literal. It follows young Diego and his “milk brother” sidekick Bernardo as they travel to Spain, fall in love, have amazing adventures, and become men. The novel begins with the relationship of Diego’s parents, one a distinguished California hidalgo and the other a Shoshone warrior. Though adventure plays a large part, this is as much a tale of how Diego de la Vega evolved into The Fox as it is the story of Zorro’s famous exploits. ![]() ![]() ![]() Max Lord's assault on Paradise Island with his destructive A.R.E.S.

Brendan would love to do a full-length film, but I’ve had a great experience with TV with Bones, and would like to see that happen again. We’re in discussions right now, but still the early stages. I read an interview you did in 2013 about discussing Virals for the TV screen, is that still under discussion? What if humans could contract a weaponized form of parvovirus? The rest is history. We’d frantically learned everything we could about the virus when he was battling the disease, and the idea sprang from there. We’d never heard of it, but quickly learned how deadly an illness it can be for a puppy.
