Adventure

Michael Strogoff; Or, The Courier of the Czar

by Jules Verne

A courier crosses a threatened empire with a message that must arrive. Here Verne exchanges wonderful machinery for the endurance of a traveller under pressure. I keep this one for readers who prefer a human heartbeat to the ticking of an invention.
