About this book
Word reaches retired engineer James Starr that the exhausted Aberfoyle colliery in Scotland may hold coal after all. Following a cryptic letter deep underground, he finds the Ford family still living in the depths and, with them, a vast unworked seam that soon gives rise to an entire subterranean town lit by electric light. But someone resents the intrusion. Rockfalls, floods, and a cut ladder point to a hidden enemy who wants the mine sealed forever, while a girl named Nell, raised in total darkness and ignorant of the sun, holds the key to the mystery. Verne blends industrial ambition with Gothic suspense beneath the Scottish hills.
