Captain Nemo’s son continues his own tales of adventure in The Lone Captain, a sequel to 2018’s The Nautilus Legacy and the second volume of The Nemo Chronicles. Inspired by the work of Jules Verne and written as a memoir, it will delight readers of the first volume as well as those new to the series.
Against a backdrop of Victorian-era political tensions and advances in science and technology, the Nautilus’ crew venture across the world’s oceans to further their twin missions of science and liberty by exploring shipwrecks, aiding the oppressed, and supporting freedom fighters. But everything changes for Nemo when a shocking naval crisis leads to confrontation with his most dangerous foe yet, a zealot whose actions could alter the international balance of power.

What Inspired You to Write Your Book?
"The Lone Captain" is a sequel to "The Nautilus Legacy," which tells the story of how Captain Nemo's son discovered his father's identity and decided to follow in his nautical footsteps. When I saw the movie "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" as a kid, I fell in love with the design of the Nautilus. I wanted its adventures to continue, and years later after reading the novel and its sequel "Mysterious Island" I decided to find a way to continue what Jules Verne had started.
