20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

With an exclusive introduction and notes by David Stuart Davies.

Translation by Louis Mercier.

Professor Aronnax, his faithful servant, Conseil, and the Canadian harpooner, Ned Land, begin an extremely hazardous voyage to rid the seas of a little-known and terrifying sea monster. However, the "monster" turns out to be a giant submarine, commanded by the mysterious Captain Nemo, by whom they are soon held captive.

So begins not only one of the great adventure classics by Jules Verne, the 'Father of Science Fiction', but also a truly fantastic voyage from the lost city of Atlantis to the South Pole.

Meh. Not my style. Maybe it was the translation. Maybe it was the pages and pages of nautical machinery that I couldn't care less about. Maybe it's the fact that aside from Ray Bradbury, I've never adored Sci-Fi as a genre. Someone please explain Sci-Fi to me.
