A dazzling, inventive literary adventure story in which Captain Ahab confronts Captain Nemo and the dark cultural stories represented by both characters are revealed in cliff-hanger fashion.
A sprawling adventure pitting two of literature's most iconic anti-heroes against each other: Captain Nemo and Captain Ahab. Caught between them: real-life British engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, builder of the century's greatest ship, The Great Eastern. But when he's kidnapped by Nemo to help design a submarine with which to fight the laying of the Translatlantic cable - linking the two colonialist forces Nemo hates, England and the US - Brunel finds himself going up against his own ship, and the strange man hired to protect it, Captain Ahab, in a battle for the soul of the 19th century.

I regret wasting a credit on this

The main plot was great with many great moments that kept me on the edge of my seat.
However, I must admit that while the story was great there did come a time near the end where the story just went a direction that did put me off a little.
And while that is a personal gripe of mine, I have to also mention that the story did seem to over stay its welcome. The storys seemed to find it's end... and then it kept going.
And while the back end of the story was just as well written as everything that came before, it just felt like too much.
I do realize that the version of The Great Eastern I listened to was the unabridged version, or so the narrator claimed and I can't help but wonder just how much was actually cut.
But overall this was an amazing story that I am happy to have gotten the chance to hear. And once the last line had been read I found myself wanting more of the world that Howard A. Rodman was able to build.
I highly recommend this story to anyone who wishes to hear a story that can only be summed up as a grandiose epic!
A great listen... if a little long winded.
