20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne

Monday, June 13 through Friday, July 8, 2022. Read by Jim Fleming.

A mysterious beast is attacking ships all over the world. Famous oceanographer Pierre Aronnax is called upon to hunt for the creature. But when the creature attacks the navy vessel pursuing it and Aronnax is thrown overboard, the adventure really begins when he is “rescued” by the reclusive and, likely mad, genius Captain Nemo and his fantastical underwater ship, the Nautilus.
