"Jules Verne was the Michael Crichton of the 19th century, a fabulist whose ability to link technology with imagination to create riveting pop-culture products was uncanny."---The New York Times

"This handsomely produced and fluid first English translation of The Mighty Orinoco merits attention because of its compelling narrative, ingenious plotting, and historical and cultural resonance. Recommended." ---Library Journal
