The Nautilus Legacy book cover

The Nautilus Legacy

​

The stunning revelation that his father became none other than the infamous Captain Nemo shakes a young man's world to its foundation.  This fictional memoir recounts his life after a tragic war destroys his family and nearly kills him.  Learning the truth about his father years later compels him to make a difficult choice: will he keep his comfortable but unspectacular middle-class Victorian existence or forsake everything to continue Nemo's work of exploring the seas and aiding the oppressed?

​

Researched to be true to the spirit of Verne's source novels (20,000 Leagues Under the Sea and Mysterious Island) and his original ideas, The Nautilus Legacy moves from Europe to America to the depths of the sea and beyond.  In addition to its literary and adventure themes, it is also the very personal story of an insecure man who struggles with the life of his father and their unfinished relationship.
