About this listen

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.

A really interesting idea, poorly executed in places. The anti semitism in this one is appalling and goes some significant way to spoiling the enjoyment of the story.. if you are sensitive to this please don't listen to this one! Not the finest Jules Verne and I regret wasting a credit on it, this ought to be moved to the free library as the sound quality is mediocre.
