rating:
A very fun young adult adventure written during the 1880s era and set largely on pre-eruption Krakatoa. In many ways this is Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea for children, in that it mixes adventure at sea with strange technology. Both also feature adventurers who have left society due to their own frustrations with its limitations.
