Volume 1 The first volume of the collected works included the novels "Columbus" and "His Majesty's Buccaneer". The first is dedicated to that period of Columbus's life, when he was preparing an expedition to the New World, believing that he was sailing in India. <br> The second novel is about pirates of the Caribbean. The main characters find themselves in the most incredible situations, they are surrounded by genuine, non-fictional characters, such as Henry Morgan and other famous personalities. Volume 2 The second volume of the collected works includes the novels "The Sea Hawk" and "The King's Favorite", the main characters of which have real historical prototypes. Indeed, at one time there was a Cornish gentleman, Sir Oliver Tresillian, aka Saqr al-Bahr, which in Arabic means "Sea Hawk", a Barbary corsair, an apostate who almost became the Pasha of Algeria, whose life is full of incredible adventures and love for the beautiful Rosamund formed the basis of the novel "Sea hawk". The novel "Favorite" tells about the favorite Robert Carr, who received the titles of Viscount Rochester and Earl of Somerset from the English King James 1, his dizzying career at court and the tragic story of relations with Lady Essex. Volume 3 The third volume of collected works includes the novels "Love and weapons" and "Venetian mask". The reader will find here all the attributes of a classic adventure novel - fights, travel, intrigue, betrayal, power struggles and, of course, romantic love. The love affair in both novels is similar - the heroines are forced to marry people they hate for higher political reasons, but in the end, after many ups and downs, as it should be according to the laws of the genre, true feeling triumphs. <br> Both novels are based on genuine historical material, which the author knows well. Volume 4 The fourth volume of the collected works includes the novels "The Sword of Islam" and "The Dogs of the Lord". The action of the first of them falls on the time of the so-called Italian wars, when France and Spain disputed dominance over Italy and at the same time were forced to fight corsair raids in the Mediterranean. The adventures of heroes on land and at sea are truly exciting. The events of the novel "Dogs of the Lord" take place during the Anglo-Spanish war. Volume 5 The fifth collection of works presents two of his works, united by one main character - the famous Italian military and political figure of the Renaissance, Cesare Borgia. The first work is an original historical research, clothed in the form of an artistic biography. The author set out to debunk the current ideas about the Borja family as a bunch of murderers, lechers and dishonest intriguers. <br> "The Court of the Duke" is a collection of short stories. Cesare Borgia appears in them as a cunning military leader, a far-sighted sovereign, a fair judge who rewards good and evil deeds according to merit. Volume 6 The sixth volume of the Collected Works includes a historical study by the famous novelist "Torquemada and the Spanish Inquisition". This work contains a lot of information from the history of Christianity in general and the Spanish Inquisition in particular. The reader will find in this book numerous hitherto unknown documents, interesting facts from the life of the Spanish monarchs and learn about the deeds of Torquemada, who became the "godfather" of the Inquisition in that incarnation, which still causes justified indignation among everyone. Volume 7 The seventh volume of the collected works includes the novels "Bardelis the Magnificent" and "Scaramouche". The first tells about the adventures of the favorite of Louis the Just, Bardelis the Magnificent, which lead him to the south of France, where there were incessant rebellions against the central government and the king, and his passionate feeling for the beautiful Roxaline de Lavedan, who knows no barriers. The second novel is about a different era, about the years of preparation and the Great French Revolution itself at the end of the 18th century. The protagonist, a young lawyer Andre-Louis Moreau, wandering by the will of fate with a theater troupe in France, finds himself in the most incredible situations, he is surrounded by genuine historical and fictional characters. Volume 8 The collection of works includes the novels "The Trap" and "Caroline". The plots of each of them are based on true historical events. In the "Trap" these are the defensive actions of the British, whom Portugal called for help in the war with Napoleon. The action of "Carolinian" is connected with the war of the then British colonies in North America for their independence. The protagonists of the novels "The Trap" and "The Karolinian" are tested by fate in connection with these events and come out of them with honor. Volume 9 The ninth volume of the collected works included his historical short stories. The plots for them were dramatic events from the European history of the 12th - 18th centuries. In the center of the author's vision are the upper strata of society, those in power, more burdened with vices than adorned with virtues. Volume 10 The tenth volume of the collected works includes the novels The Odyssey of Captain Blood and The Chronicle of Captain Blood. The main character in these works is the noble Peter Blood, who always and in everything takes the side of the weak and disadvantaged. The events of the novels unfold against the background of the great Anglo-Spanish confrontation at sea in the 17th century.
