Review Summaries
"A fictional account of Jules Verne as a youth, then a man, recounting to his thoughts, the actual events that spawned nearly all of his famous stories, and acts as a 'secret' biography to the life of Andre (Captain) Nemo. The book also trades back and forth in telling the history of Jules Verne's life as well, and the fate of the woman both he and Nemo loved."

"Captain Andre Nemo explorers the corners of the universe while a young Jules Verne struggles to become a successful writer. "
