Length16h 10m
About this audiobook
This edition includes some of the most renowned stories by the great storyteller of pirates, action and adventure, Rafael Sabatini.
Stories such as "Annabel's Wager" and "The Vicomte's Wager" show Sabatini's fondness for risk as a driving force, where a single bet can expose pride, desperation, or hidden courage. In "Out of the Dice Box" and "The Lottery Ticket," luck becomes a dangerous companion, tempting characters into choices that test their moral limits. Sabatini delights in reminding the reader that fortune is never neutral—it always demands a price. Other tales lean into darker or more ironic territory. "The Malediction" and "The Night of Doom" explore fear and superstition, while "The Duellist's Wife" and "The Marquis' Coach" combine romance with sharp social observation. Meanwhile, stories like "Sword and Mitre" and "The Captain of the Guard" echo Sabatini's love of historical conflict, where power struggles play out through wit as much as violence.
Together, these stories showcase Sabatini's versatility. Whether dealing with wagers, disguises, or sudden reversals of fate, each piece delivers a complete, satisfying arc—proof that his mastery of adventure shines just as brightly in short form as it does in his longer works.
