DESCRIPTION:
Having explored andwritten about the Arctic--and having recently returned from my latestjourney there--Pete Shaw's Nautilus resonated with my renewed sense ofhow much wonder and majesty there is in the High North. Shaw is a master of the mystery adventure. Nautilus is an amazing tale filled with enigmas, with riddles and dark mysteries. The manyreferences to people I've known personally or read about, the submarines both new and (very!) old, the archaeological/political machinations,this tremendous novel hit the bullseye of themes I have always thrilledto--immortals, aliens seeding life, starship submarines, genetics, timetravel, all along with airships, whalers, Arctic
Pete Shaw is the pen name of P.J. Capelotti, author or editor of morethan a dozen non-fiction histories, including The Greatest Show in the Arctic: the American exploration of Franz Josef Land, 1898-1905; Sea Drift: Rafting Adventures in the Wake of Kon-Tiki; Shipwreck atCape Flora: the expeditions of Benjamin Leigh Smith, England's forgotten Arctic explorer; and Life and Death on t
A modern sequel to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea In the Arctic summer of 2021, two explorers are on a wide-ranging archaeological survey on board the small research vessel Polar Quest. But rather than a lost airship, the expedition stumbles upon the wreck of a submarine, one that resembles the same Nautilus described by Jules Verne in 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea. The objective is to locate any surviving evidence of the disastrous 1928 Italia dirigible expedition to the North Pole. Was Verne's famous novel an imaginative science fiction story or, instead, a fictionalized account of an undersea voyage that actually took place in 1867? As the two explorers descend to the sub and enter a study holding 12,000 volumes on Brazilian rosewood shelves, the questions multiply: was Captain Nemo a scientist, the entire Earth his laboratory, and evolution itself his experiment?
