This Audible Original drama voyages across the seas on board the USS Abraham Lincoln in pursuit of a mysterious monster that has been terrifying unsuspecting ships, in an expedition to hunt this creature down before more people are injured or killed.

Amongst the crew are Professor Pierre Aronnax, who wants to be the first person to identify the creature, believing it to be nothing more than an oversized Narwhal. He’s joined by Ned Land, a Canadian harpoonist, believed to be the best in the world. Brought onto the USS Abraham Lincoln to kill the creature, Ned has a secret - his love was on a previous ship attacked by the monster (as was he) and died deep in the bowels of the ship, and he wants revenge.

Also on board is Constance Boyd, an agent for the fledgling and secret Office of US Naval Intelligence.

After a long search the ship finally encounters the beast, but during the attack our three crew members are thrown into the water. As they cling on for life to their surprise they discover the monster to be an advanced technologic masterpiece, the Nautilus, a submarine unknown to man, commanded by Captain Nemo, played by Adrian Lester OBE (The Day After Tomorrow, Primary Colours, Hustle).

An enigma, a man without a nation, who’s declared war on mankind by attacking ships that cross his path, our story truly begins when we meet Nemo and discover he’s not the monster that he’s made out to be.

The Audible Original of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea has the energy of a 90s or early 2000s animated adventure movie, which keeps the whole thing fun and lively. The cast gives the story a tone that fits its adventurous feel, and the sound design adds a gentle sense of wonder to the underwater world.

The story moves fast and does not feel as dated as you would expect from something this old. This version had me smiling and loving the adventure with Captain Nemo at the helm.

A great pick if you want a classic that feels fresh in audio form.

I know of Jules Verne, but never seen any movie adaptations or read any of his books. This was a very good abridged immersive experience. Highly reccomend.

First time I've ever heard this story.
