Publisher's Summary

In the latter part of the 19th century, a wayward comet strikes the Earth in Algeria and carries away a small group of French and British soldiers from their posts. They are forced to endure a two-year journey around the solar system and back. Famed early science fiction writer Jules Verne chronicles the challenges that confront the reluctant castaways as they attempt to survive on this small body of rock while they await possible return and transfer back to their dearly missed home planet.

Very racist book.

I’ve enjoyed many of Jules Vernes book. This book however was extremely unenjoyable as the author repeatedly goes out of his way to stereotype and show how racist he is by indulging in tangents that have nothing to do with the story.
