An Antarctic Mystery - Jules Verne

Captain Len Guy's brother is on the ship Jane when it goes missing, and the Captain must convince the crew of the Halbrane to take a dangerous trip to Antarctic in hope of finding survivors of the Jane. Strange does not describe what they find. Jules Gabriel Verne was a French novelist, poet, and playwright best known for his adventure novels and his profound influence on the literary genre of science fiction. He was trained to follow in his father's footsteps as a lawyer, but quit the profession early to write for magazines and the stage. His collaboration with the publisher Pierre-Jules Hetzel led to the creation of the Voyages Extraordinaires, a widely popular series of scrupulously researched adventure novels including A Journey to the Interior of the Earth, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, and Around the World in Eighty Days.
