About the Book: Jules Verne, the ¿Father of Modern Science Fiction,¿ is indeed immortal and eternally young across three centuries. In Masters of the Sea: The Adventures of Jules Verne¿s Mathias Sandorf, we pay tribute to Verne, who inspired pioneers throughout the world for generations. Here, we take Verne¿s ultimate prediction of communication with our friends of the watery deep to its outer limits. In fact, communication with these friends was heralded throughout the world when, in 2003, America used dolphins to clear mines designed to hamper the invasion from the port of Unn Qasr in southern Iraq. For the first time, a pioneering research Preface underscores why and how Verne proclaimed Mathias Sandorf his greatest epic science fiction masterpiece. His dedication of the original work claims ¿¿I tried to make of Mathias Sandorf my Monte Cristo of extraordinary science fiction adventures.¿ Verne drew his Austrian heroic character, Dr. Mathias Sandorf, from the reality of the battleground of Germany¿s conquests of Austria and France during the 30-year period prior to World War I. About the Author: George J. Rios, M.P.A., Ph.D. has distinguished himself with nine Public Service appointments including three White House assignments spanning five presidential administrations and is a former New York City Commissioner. He renders a unique service to science-fiction aficionados with his scholarly researched and adapted translation of Jules Verne¿s preeminent novel.
