| Summary |
The Hugo and Nebula Award-winning author boldly reimagines the Jules Verne classic Around the World in Eighty Days in this outrageous sci-fi fantasy . The famous adventurer Phileas Fogg was not at all what he seemed--and his legendary journey was far more remarkable than previous accounts let on. Fogg was actually a human foster child of an alien race known as the Eridaneans. After being marooned on Earth, they enlisted Fogg as a secret agent in their underground war against their extraterrestrial rivals. Now Fogg himself recounts what really happened behind the scenes of his trip around the world as he executes a major phase of the Eridanean war. Readers will discover the true origins of Fogg, Passepartout, Captain Nemo, and other Jules Verne characters. The Other Log of Phileas Fogg is set in Philip José Farmer's expansive fantasy world where Sherlock Holmes, James Bond, Flash Gordon, and other larger-than-life heroes all intersect. |
