Heir of Barbarossa

Don Cossack Ivan Platov, passing himself off as an Ottoman sailor Hasan, carries out his first assignment brilliantly—he conducts reconnaissance in Algeria and returns, becoming the youngest captain in the Ottoman war fleet. Despite his young age, he turned out to be not only a good sailor, but also a skilled scout. Hasan is brave, smart, and well educated—something that deserves respect in itself and has been appreciated by the Ottoman command. But he has one more quality: he’s incredibly lucky. And that can’t escape the attention of those who shape the fates of many people.
