<b>Join Captain Nemo and the <i>Nautilus</i> as they journey into the deep in Jules Verne's classic science fiction tale.</b> <p/>In an age that has seen the wildest speculations of science become reality Jules Verne is regarded as both a technological prophet and one of the most exciting masters of imagination the world has ever known.
