Чему быть, того не миновать. После четырнадцати лет службы в британской армии капитан Джон Нил решает уйти на покой и начать новую жизнь в качестве фермера в африканской глубинке. Но кто знает, что будет завтра?.. Тем более если ты рыцарь в душе, а судьба постоянно ставит тебя перед выбором между "за" и "против". В очередной том "Мастеров приключений" входит остросюжетный роман Г.Р. Хаггарда "Джесс", события которого развиваются на фоне жестокого конфликта, положившего начало Первой англо-бурской войны (1880-1881). При жизни писателя книга имела большой успех - была трижды экранизирована и публиковалась много раз (в своих мемуарах Хаггард упоминает о 27-м переиздании романа "Джесс").
