THOUGH Jules Verne made his brilliant prediction of the flying machine and its effects on the world almost a hundred years ago, time has not erased the magnitude of his imagination. For in THE MASTER OF THE WORLD, the mighty airplane invented by Robur is still in many respects far ahead of our modern aircraft! Robur's "Albatross" could hover like a helicopter, sail the ocean like a battleship, dive beneath the waves like a submarine, and even travel across dry land. Verne's two novels, "Robur the Conqueror" and "Master of the World" -- both of these true classics of science-fiction are included in this volume -- make great and enjoyable adventure reading. The exciting film, MASTER OF THE WORLD, based on these novels, is dramatic evidence of Verne's timeless appeal.
