Ana Dakkar is a freshman at Harding-Pencroft Academy, a school that trains elite marine scientists and naval warriors. During a trial at sea, a rival school destroys the campus, leaving Ana and her classmates as the sole survivors. They discover that Jules Verne’s 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea is a historical record rather than fiction. As the direct descendant of Captain Nemo, Ana must claim the Nautilus, a submarine powered by forgotten cold fusion technology, to protect her crew from organ-harvesting mercenaries.
Fans of classic maritime adventure and steampunk technology read this for the technical details of underwater warfare and historical puzzles. The story appeals to readers interested in how nineteenth-century science fiction blueprints function in a modern naval setting. Readers finish the book with a clear understanding of the logistics required to operate autonomous ships and the ethical burdens of inheriting dangerous scientific secrets that could reshape global energy resources.
