Jules Verne

Earth has fractured, gravity is defied, and humanity's survival now hangs in the vast, unforgiving balance of the cosmos.

Captain Hector Servadac and his steadfast orderly, Ben Zoof, are on the verge of a duel of honor in colonial Algeria when an apocalyptic cataclysm shatters the world. Thrown unconscious to the ground, they awake to an unrecognizable reality: the sun rises in the west, days last only six hours, and the very laws of gravity have been upended. Accompanied by their former rival Count Timascheff aboard the surviving yacht Dobryna, they soon realize the terrifying truth—a colossal comet has struck the Earth, shearing off a piece of the Mediterranean and carrying them into the depths of deep space. As the blistering heat of Venus approaches and freezing darkness looms ahead, these accidental astronauts must navigate an alien trajectory through the solar system to survive.

You will love this visionary Science Fiction adventure if you crave mind-bending space exploration, classic apocalyptic tropes, and brilliant 19th-century speculative world-building. Filled with celestial mysteries, scientific puzzles, and epic cosmic stakes, this masterwork defines the genre of early hard science fiction and planetary romance.

Jules Verne (1828–1905) is globally celebrated as the "Father of Science Fiction." His extraordinary Voyages Extraordinaires laid the foundational blueprints for generations of scientific exploration and speculative literature, solidifying his legacy as one of the most translated and influential authors in human history.
