Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea [Paperback]

French naturalist Professor Aronnax has joined a task force to rid the seas of a
monster that is terrorizing shipping lanes. But the Professor's mission takes an
unexpected turn when he falls overboard - to be rescued by a submarine called
Nautilus, built by the mysterious Captain Nemo. At first this new journey is
exciting, as Nemo takes Aronnax on an adventure through underwater marvels,
but soon he realizes that his host's motives may be more sinister than he
realized. This triumphant work of the imagination shows the limitless
possibilities of science and the dark depths of the human mind.Jules Verne (Author)

wrote 54 novels in the Extraordinary Voyages series.
