About this book

A mysterious inventor pilots a fantastic machine (part car, part boat, part submarine, part aircraft) that terrorizes the world with its impossible speed, while a determined investigator races to unmask him. In this late scientific romance, Verne returns to the megalomaniac genius of Robur, blending prophetic technology with a cautionary tale about power and pride. Fast, inventive, and shadowed by a darker vision than his early optimism, the novel anticipates the automobile, the aircraft, and the dangers of unchecked ambition. A gripping chase story crowned with a dramatic finale, The Master of the World is a fascinating glimpse of Verne imagining the machine age and its perils.
