A hundred years after the death of Jules Verne, the founding father of science fiction, a host of top SF authors pay homage to his genius with this anthology of superb new stories, taking as their inspiration just some of Verne's iconic ideas and characters.

In this collection of extraordinary voyages are stories of intrigue and adventure set around the four corners of the globe, and even within it, recalling such works as Around the World in Eighty Days, Journey to the Centre of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea
