Summary
After hijacking a balloon from a Confederate camp, a band of five northern prisoners escape the American Civil War. Seven thousand miles later, they drop from the clouds onto an uncharted volcanic island in the Pacific. Through teamwork, scientific knowledge, engineering, and perseverance, they endeavor to build a colony from scratch. But this island of abundant resources has its secrets. The castaways discover they are not alone. A shadowy, yet familiar, agent of their unfathomable fate is watching.
What unfolds in Jules Verne’s imaginative marvel is both an enthralling mystery and the ultimate in survivalist adventures.
Revised edition: Previously published as The Mysterious Island, this edition of The Mysterious Island (AmazonClassics Edition) includes editorial revisions.

An excellent story beautifully narrated.
This one took me be surprise after i bought it on a whim. The narrater does such a good job with the individual characters (The sailor my personal favourite) that you cant help but feel present in their adventure. Coupled with Jules’s brilliant storytelling its a must listen.

dull as dishwater
20 hours of waiting for something to happen. There is nothing mysterious or exciting about the island whatsoever.
