November 1828. In the midst of a storm, a knock came at the door of a small house on the shore of the Bay of Saint-Malo. An uninvited guest arrived from afar "with a message for the captain." The messenger was not a ghastly blind sailor with a pirate's black mark in his grasping hand, but the wooden box he handed to the captain held a certain secret.
The new volume of "Masters of Adventure" includes two more thrilling stories by André Laurie, the famous co-author of Jules Verne, translator of Stevenson and Mayne Reid's novels. The sea novel with elements of a Western, "Captain Trafalgar," tells the story of a French corsair engaged in an unyielding struggle against the English. The novel "The Gold Seekers" will recount a perilous journey into the depths of the Black Continent.
