THE MARVELOUS MACHINE...It was first seen in North Carolina, or something was, smoking up from a mountain crater. With blinding speed, it roared past cars on a Pennsylvania road. It skimmed the Atlantic, then, - at the flick of its captain's will - dove beneath the waves... It was the Terror - ship, sub, plane and land vehicle in one, and a letter from its inventor claimed that with it he would rule the world. Could he? Who was he and how did he plan to bring nations to their knees? John Strock had to find out - before it was too late... Jules Verne's MASTER OF THE WORLD was first published in 1904. Long recognized as a truly prophetic science-fiction classic, it is also an exciting, suspenseful adventure that the passage of time has not diminished.
