    An enthralling voyage beneath the world’s oceans follows a marine scientist, his loyal assistant, and a stubborn harpooner who are taken aboard a mysterious, technologically advanced submarine commanded by the enigmatic Captain Nemo; as they traverse the seas they encounter marvels and perils—underwater forests, coral kingdoms, sunken wrecks and a titanic squid—and are drawn into conflicts that explore scientific hubris, freedom and revenge.
