Captain Nemo brings together two of Jules Verne's greatest adventure novels in one Positronic omnibus: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Mysterious Island. The title places Verne's most famous and enigmatic character at the center of the package, where he belongs: commander of the submarine Nautilus, master of the deep, enemy of oppression, scientific genius, wounded exile, and one of the defining figures of early science fiction.
In 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, Professor Aronnax, Conseil, and Ned Land are taken aboard the Nautilus and carried through a world beneath the waves: coral kingdoms, shipwrecks, giant sea creatures, undersea forests, polar ice, and the dangerous mystery of Captain Nemo himself. In The Mysterious Island, shipwrecked castaways struggle to survive on an uncharted island, only to discover that an unseen intelligence has been watching over them-and that the shadow of Nemo reaches farther than they imagined.
Readers drawn to classic science fiction, undersea adventure, survival fiction, lost-world stories, Jules Verne, and the origins of modern speculative adventure will find this omnibus a substantial journey through Verne's imagination. Captain Nemo is a strong discoverability title because it gathers the two novels most closely tied to Nemo's legend, giving readers both the mystery of the Nautilus and the later revelation of the man behind it.
