Publisher Description

A courier of the Czar must be dispatched to warn the Governor-General of Sibera at once: Ivan Ogareff has allied himself with the fierce and ambitious Feofar-Khan. The Tartar chiefs are pouring their men into Siberia and fomenting rebellion. Should Ivan Ogareff and his allies succeed, the Siberian provinces will be wrested away from Russian control. No man is more capable of handling such a dangerous mission than Michael Strogoff. A native of Siberia, he knows the people and their languages, the challenging terrain, and how to survive the harsh winters. His great strength and courage are also matched by a kind and generous heart. Hunger, fatigue, capture, torture—nothing except death will stop him from completing his mission.

"Besides Verne's Around the World in Eighty Days, Michael Strogoff is one of my favorites. Might be slow starting out, but pretty soon you start reading the twists and turns, and before you know it you are caught up into the book! Well worth the effort to read!!!!!"

    " It is a typical Jules Verne book with a lot of action and weak on characterization. I enjoyed it because of my interest in 19th Century Russia, but his sci-fi probably holds up better. "

    " This book is slightly crazy, but in a good way. It's basically the book equivalent of a summer blockbuster, with lots of improbable action and not much artistic merit. If that's what you're in the mood for, it's a pretty good read. "

About Jules Verne

Jules Verne (1828–1905) is considered by many the father of science fiction. Born in Nantes, France, he studied law but turned to writing opera libretti until the 1863 publication of Five Weeks in a Balloon, the first of his Extraordinary Voyages series. Its success encouraged him to produce a number of classic and prophetic science fiction novels, including Journey to the Center of the Earth and Twenty Thousand Leagues under the Sea. His stories foresaw many scientific and technological developments, including the submarine, television, and space travel.
