Invasion of the Sea Summary
Invasion of the Sea Reviews
"YA ripping good yarn."--Harper's Magazine
"Clear, readable translation...prescient adventure novel, with useful annotations."--Kirkus Reviews
"[A] ripping good yarn."--Harper's Magazine
"This 1904 volume capped Verne's remarkable career (he died in 1905). Writing at a time when many of the world's top powers were busy building canals to link major bodies of water, Verne goes a step further and weaves a tale of a sea being created in the Sahara desert. This first English translation also includes numerous illustrations, textual notes, and other nice extras. When it comes to vintage sf, Jules Rules!"--Library Journal, "Classic Returns" section
"The revival for the French father of science fiction . . . continues with the first English translation of this short novel, the last Verne published during his lifetime . . . Journalistic explorations of North Africa and wide-eyed discourse about technology are paced with action scenes . . . Clear, readable translation of a minor but prescient adventure novel, with useful annotations, a brief Verne biography, and 44 b&w illustrations from the original French edition." --Kirkus
