"Anderson's rollicking whopper of a novel glides along smoothly in a style deliberately modeled on Verne's own. No one would miss the boat by signing on this fantastic journey." - Publishers Weekly
"Kevin J. Anderson's Captain Nemo should be a companion book in any English class reading the works of Jules Verne. On its own, this is an incredible piece of work and I highly recommend it for anyone who loves adventure, history, steampunk, invention, or just a great story." -Steampunk Canada
"Captain Nemo is a swashbuckling mix of Jules Verne, Daniel DeFoe, and Michael Crichton stirred up by the distinctive storytelling skills of K.J. Anderson." - Terry Brooks, author of The Sword of Shannara
"Postmodernism be damned! In this enthusiastic, skillful recreation of a Victorian adventure novel, author Anderson removed tongue from cheek and takes our literary ancestors at face value, replicating all their virtues." - scifi.com
"Captain Nemo is a riveting tale, packed with action and derring-do. K.J. Anderson seamlessly blends events of Jules Verne's real life with the plotlines of his fictional works. His portrayal of Verne is masterful: a man able to break free from the circumstances that stifle him through his vivid imagination and the inspiration provided by his lifelong friend, Nemo"- Harry Turtledove, New York Times bestselling author of The Guns of the South
Most readers know Captain Nemo only as the enigmatic protagonist of Jules Verne's classic novel 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea. But what if Nemo was a real man, whose actual life was more fantastic and adventurous than all the fictions it inspired?
Here is the epic tale of Andre Nemo, the man behind the myth. The free-spirited and inventive son of a French shipbuilder, Nemo goes to sea as a cabin boy, faces marauding pirates and bloodthirsty sharks, is marooned for years on a mysterious island, battles prehistoric monsters long believed extinct, journeys to the centre of the Earth, balloons across Africa, escapes from Arab slavers, discovers the fabled city of Timbuktu, endures a plague of locusts, survives the Charge of the Light Brigade, tends to the wounded with Florence Nightingale, is pressed into service by the ruthless Robert the Conqueror, and, ultimately, wages war on War itself as the captain of his greatest creation: the legendary underwater vessel known as the Nautilus.
NEMO is also the story of Nemo's childhood friend, Jules Verne, who would bestow immortality upon the captain's exploits, and of the remarkable woman they both loved to the very end.
