Science fiction
"The Master of the World," another of Jules Verne's captivating novels, follows the story of John Strock, a daring government investigator. Strock is tasked with uncovering the mystery behind a series of bizarre incidents involving a phantom vehicle that travels on land, sea, and air. The vehicle, known as the Terror, is the creation of the enigmatic and brilliant inventor, Robur – a character who also appears in Verne's "Robur the Conqueror."
In this sequel, Robur has advanced his technological prowess, creating the Terror as a symbol of his power and a tool for his ambition to dominate the world. The narrative is set in the early 20th century, reflecting Verne's vision of futuristic technology and his fascination with scientific innovation. The novel blends elements of adventure, mystery, and science fiction, showcasing Verne's ability to weave complex plots with deep character development. The Master of the World is a testament to human ingenuity and the potential dangers of unchecked ambition, exploring themes of authority, technological progress, and the ethical implications of power.
