Blackwood writes a sequel of sorts to Jules Verne's classic. In 1891 Harry Fogg makes a bet with his father's old nemesis that he can circumnavigate the globe in one hundred days--this time in a steam-powered motor car. Along the way there are plenty of revelations and reversals of fortune. This road trip novel will appeal to adventure fans.
