Facing the Flag
In a remote Atlantic volcano, the insane genius Thomas Roch perfects the fulgurator—an auto-propulsive explosive that can annihilate any ship. The pirate Ker Karraje, master of a submarine tug, kidnaps Roch to build a fleet of these weapons. Engineer Simon Hart goes undercover to foil the plot but becomes trapped in the lair. As Roch descends into vengeful madness, only a glimpse of the French flag can reignite his conscience, leading to a dramatic, self-destructive finale. Verne’s novel foretel
