His novel 'Godfrey Morgan: A Californian Mystery' departs from his usual techno-scientific tales and delves into the adventure genre, featuring shipwrecks, deserted islands, and exotic locales. Despite being less known than 'Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea' or 'Around the World in Eighty Days,' this novel nonetheless showcases Verne's flair for crafting engrossing narratives in richly described worlds.
