“Three Hearts” was originally a film script that later became a full-fledged novel with a richly layered plot and the vivid flavor of an adventurous Hollywood action blockbuster. The main hero is Francis Morgan—son of a deceased millionaire, born an aristocrat. It all begins with searching for the founder of the family line—the formidable pirate Henry Morgan. Then comes an unexpected meeting, an unexpected capture, a release, a chase, treasures, the village of Lost Souls with a magnificent queen… The action unfolds almost nonstop: the heroes barely manage to escape one unpleasant situation before they find themselves in another. Secondary characters replace one another and sometimes turn out not to be as simpletons as they seem at first glance.
