Best known for '20,000 Leagues Under the Sea' and Around The World In Eighty Days, Jules Verne also authored a number of other popular novels, that made it onto the big screen, such as 'The Mysterious Island,' and 'Journey To The Centre Of The World.'

The Master of the World is a story told by John Strock, a federal police inspector. Set in 1903, the narrative opens with a series of strange events taking place across the eastern seaboard of the US: frightening vehicles are seen moving at impossible speeds, and there are signs of an impending volcanic eruption in a non-volcanic mountain range. The inspector discovers the cause of the weird phenomena - an inventor of unrivalled brilliance, who had just perfected a vehicle called The Terror. Inspector Strock tries to capture the Terror but the hunter gets captured by the game.
