About This Book

A wealthy baronet and an inventive professor join to operate a remarkable craft made from an unoxidisable light metal and powered by novel crystals, enabling sea, submersible, and aerial travel. Their previous voyages have reached polar and unexplored African regions and yielded ruins and hazardous encounters. The narrative alternates descriptions of inventive technology and materials with episodic adventures, rescues, and explorations of strange locales, while recurring concerns about the potential misuse of the discoveries and the characters' personal motivations shape plans for further daring expeditions.
