Publisher's summary
Captain Nemo is the fictional life story of one of Jules Verne's most memorable characters from 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and The Mysterious Island. It covers his boyhood friendship with the dreamer Jules Verne, adventures aboard sailing ships, battles with pirates, and survival on a mysterious deserted island. Each time he returns home to his beloved France, Captain Nemo shares the tales of his exploits with the struggling writer Verne. We follow Nemo's exploration of hidden caverns that lead to the center of the earth, his travels across darkest Africa in a hydrogen balloon, and his imprisonment by an evil Ottoman caliph who commands the dark genius to construct a submarine boat, the Nautilus, in order to attack merchant ships that venture through the newly completed Suez Canal.

In 1808, an American merchant ship happened upon an uncharted island in the South Pacific and unwittingly solved the biggest nautical mystery of the era: the whereabouts of a band of fugitives who, after seizing their vessel, had disappeared into the night with their Tahitian companions. Pitcairn Island was the perfect hideaway from British authorities, but after nearly two decades of isolation, its secret society had devolved into a tribalistic hellscape; a real-life Lord of the Flies, rife with depravity and deception.

If they are awakened, if the gauze wrapping their bodies is disturbed or violated, the women become feral and spectacularly violent; and while they sleep they go to another place.... The men of our world are abandoned, left to their increasingly primal devices. One woman, however, the mysterious Evie, is immune to the blessing or curse of the sleeping disease.

It would be sheer folly to try to conceal the true nature of Althalus, for his flaws are the stuff of legend. He is, as all men know, a thief, a liar, an occasional murderer, an outrageous braggart, and a man devoid of even the slightest hint of honor. Yet of all the men in the world, it is Althalus, unrepentant rogue and scoundrel, who will become the champion of humanity in its desperate struggle against the forces of an ancient god determined to return the universe to nothingness.

Heroes are sometimes made of the strangest stuff, and love is to be found in the most unexpected places...if one doesn’t die while treading the lethal path.

Steampunk Forest Gump
Kevin J Anderson has a unique voice for retelling or adding to the stories of others. This delightful steampunk Forrest Gump is a delightful romp through the 1800s and the works of Jules Verne.

Excellent Adventure Story!
My husband and I loved this audio book! We listen to a lot of audio books, and Jim Meskimen is the best reader we have ever heard. The story is long, but not tiresome. The adventures are vivid and exciting! An excellent book, and excellently read!

Good backstory for Capt. Nemo
Anderson has crafted a plausible back story to Verne's intrepid Captain. The historical references and detail are woven well into the fabric of the story without seeming haphazardly out of place or inserted as an after thought.

Just wonderful
I had difficulty stopping myself while listening to this book. The story was so compelling, and the narrator so effective that I just couldn't stop.
The story itself seems to tie together the works of Jules Verne very well and answers some questions I've had since my youth. True, this is a work of fiction, but the way this story was done puts that concern at ease.
The only thing unfortunate about the story is that Jules never got to experience the wonderful adventures he wrote about. This story however tells us that he might have experienced a few after all.
