Everyone knows the legendary story of Phileas Fogg''s journey Around the World in Eighty Days as told by Jules Verne. And Philip José Farmer''s fans know he uncovered the "secret history" behind Fogg''s unexpected journey in The Other Log of Phileas Fogg. One of Meteor House''s most ambitious projects yet is The Full Account, a unique, one-of-a-kind edition wherein both classic books are woven together, allowing the reader to peruse the original exploits as described by Verne, followed by, in alternating fashion, Farmer''s revelatory account of what was actually occurring "behind the scenes." We have not omitted, nor added, one word from the authorized editions of both books. Upon the recommendation of Verne expert Henry G. Franke III, we have utilized the Hutchinson text of Around the World in Eighty Days. The alternating texts of each novel have been set in different fonts in order to enhance readability.

They were known simply as the Nine. Grim and ancient rulers who discovered the key to eternal life thirty-thousand years ago, and ever since have held the world secretly in thrall. These dark manipulators control the destinies of billions, including the formidable Doc Caliban, Champion of Justice. Once, Doc had been their servant and had shared their secrets. Now, appalled by their tyranny, he and his half-brother, Lord Grandrith-bastard son of Jack the Ripper-have turned against the Nine, daring to challenge their centuries-old supremacy. In the eighteenth century, the Nine had been faced with a similar revolt and, in desperation, summoned a thing from another dimension-a thing with the power to touch the subconscious and cause nightmares. And that thing-Shrassk-was held in abeyance in a deep cavern complex below New England. Now, Shrassk and her Children have awakened. Caliban, suffering from recurring nightmares in which he sees somebody much like himself-and who in these visions seems to be dreaming of Caliban-gathers his closest allies for a final showdown. Together with longtime associates Pauncho Van Veelar and Barney Banks, and his titian-haired cousin, Trish Wilde, whose superhuman skills match his own, Doc descends deep into the subterranean complex to confront an infinite evil, the unspeakable dweller lurking at the threshold between two universes...

¿Cómo será el mundo dentro de millones de años? Esto era lo último que se hubiera imaginado averiguar el científico piel roja Ulises Singing Bear cuando estaba trabajando en un proyecto secreto referente al éstasis atómico. Pero fue lo que descubrió cuando le falló el experimento. Pues, convertido en su propio conejo de Indias, fue él quien se despertó a la vida en un lejano, muy lejano futuro. Esto es lo que nos ofrece aquí la fabulosa imaginación de Philip Jose Farmer, creador de universos, explorador del pasado y del presente, en una nueva novela de las épocas por venir... una novela llena de acción y aventuras, de luchas con espadas, de la brujería, de lo desconocido, y de las ciencias olvidadas en el tiempo y las civilizaciones que florecieron y murieron durante los milenios que aún han de trascurrir.
