A lost classic from the author of Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea and A Journey to the Center of the Earth.

What happens when one man strikes terror into the heart of a country? Or even an entire world?

An indescribable contraption, faster than a locomotive, striking like a thunderbolt, stirring up a whirlwind so strong it ripped the branches from trees in its wake, and leaving pedestrians in fear for their lives.

Those in power send out investigators like John Strock. His mission? Find the mysterious enigma and capture it. How hard can it be?

Written near the end of his life, this Jules Verne novel draws the reader into a battle of wits, government against genius, and at its center a mysterious flying machine centuries ahead of its time.

With a new foreword by Victoria Price, daughter of Vincent Price, the “King of Horror” and star of the 1961 film Master of the World.
