17th century. Livorno, Duchy of Tuscany. A brave hired killer receives a valuable gift and a secret mission - to meet a carriage from Genoa rushing at full speed. 1697. Newfoundland. The fearless Canadian explorer and corsair Pierre d'Iberville fights the English. He does not suspect that he has his own guardian angel. 1698. Morocco. Sultan Ismail has started secret negotiations with the exiled English king James II, who has found refuge in France. But a cold-blooded English merchant intervenes in the insidious game of thrones. He offers a dangerous but profitable deal to the cunning French consul.

The next volume of "Masters of Adventure" reveals a new name for the Russian reader - Henry Bedford-Jones. In the first half of the 20th century, there was no magazine in America that did not publish this king of action-packed stories. And there was probably no subgenre of adventure literature that this tireless inventor did not work in: westerns and detectives, fantasy and mysticism, spy novels, exotic novels, pirate novels... But the calling card of his work is historical adventure novels and stories. For his irrepressible imagination, love of history and travel, the writer was often compared to Alexandre Dumas. The first volume of Henry Bedford-Jones includes a series of three pearl short stories, "The Shores of Fortune," and the cloak-and-dagger novel "Will-o'-the-Wisp," which tells of the confrontation between French and English intelligence in the shadow of Count Cagliostro's intrigues.
