Around the Moon

More about the book

The story continues the ambitious lunar journey initiated in Verne's earlier work, featuring the Baltimore Gun Club's massive Columbiad space gun. Three adventurers—Barbicane, Nicholl, and Michel Ardan—embark on a five-day voyage to the Moon. Their journey takes an unexpected turn when a small asteroid passes dangerously close, only to be captured by Earth's gravity, creating a second moon. This sequel blends thrilling adventure with imaginative science, reflecting Verne's visionary storytelling and engaging exploration of space travel.
