The Master of the World
by Jules Verne
It was first seen in North Carolina, or there was something like this, smoking from a mountain crater. At dazzling speed, he roared past a car on his way to Pennsylvania. He crossed the Atlantic, then - with the trembling of the will of his captain - a pigeon under the waves ... This was Terror - a ship, an underwater, an airplane and a land vehicle, and a letter from its inventor, claiming that he would rule the world with it. Who was he and how did he plan to bring nations to their knees? John Term had to find out – before it was too late. Verne's latest novel, The Master of the World (a sequel to Robour the Conqueror), has long been considered a truly prophetic sci-fi classic, but also an exciting, intense adventure where the passage of time doesn't diminish. The gripping film based on these novels, The Lord of the World, is a dramatic testament to Verne's timeless appeal.
