About this audiobook
Francis Morgan leaves a comfortable life to pursue the promise of a treasure connected with a pirate ancestor. His journey brings him together with Henry Morgan and Leoncia, whose relationships become part of the adventure's uncertainty. The search for hidden wealth soon requires decisions about trust, courage and obligations that cannot be measured in money.
Jack London moves between hazardous travel and the complications of personal attachment. Changes of circumstance continually alter what the characters believe they know about one another. The appeal of discovery is accompanied by practical dangers, while rivalry and affection give the expedition a direction that no map can fully determine.
The novel combines an adventure across unfamiliar landscapes with a story of divided loyalties. It invites readers to follow how a pursuit that begins with an apparently material reward becomes a test of character, as the people involved try to understand what they value and which risks they are prepared to accept.
