The next volume of "Masters of Adventure" belongs entirely to one of the most popular novels in the XIX century Walter Scott's "Pirate". The events of this unusual book take place at the end of the XVII century in the Shetland Islands, in a separate northern county from Scotland, where everything is imbued with Scandinavian romance and mysticism, and the locals still speak the language of their Viking ancestors. Some episodes from a rather short and controversial biography of a desperate sea thug John Gau are woven into the plot of the story. Immediately after publication, the book caused controversy, delight and indignation. Fenimore Cooper himself, having read "The Pirate", decided to forget about his land spies and Indians for a while and "answer" the Scottish bard with his own "truly maritime" novel "The Pilot". This edition includes a set of over 150 illustrations from the original French edition of 1889.
