Ireful mission!
This is the third and final book in the “Nemo Trilogy”
Creative Team:
Writer: Alan Moore
Illustrator: Kevin O’Neill
Letterer: Todd Klein
DINOSAURS, FEMBOTS & LIL’ CLONES
It’s the year 1975…
Janni Dakkar, daughter of the original Captain Nemo, now an old woman, already a grandmother, keeps to follow the legacy and she continues as the second Captain Nemo commanding the incredible submarine Nautilus.
Janni fearing the return of Ayesha (from H. Rider Haggard’s She, since the last time that they meet, it cost her dearly.
That’s why Janni isn’t waiting to respond anymore but taking the offensive.
Janni’s criminal operations (pirate, remember?) now they are powered by a society of felon allies: The House of Mabuse (from Norbert Jacques’ Dr. Mabuse the Gambler), Blofeld (from Ian Fleming’s James Bond novels) and Lord Horror (from David Britton’s banned novel in UK).
The criminal society can’t confirm if the mysterious woman who had been seen, here and there, along two years, and now it seems that Ayesha (or whoever she is) is planning something and Janni won’t wait anymore, she will make a preemptive strike.
Along with the powerful submarine Nautilus, Janni hires Hugo Coghlan (from William H.D. Koerner’s Hugo Hercules comic strip) as her personal bodyguard. Coghlan and the Nemo family have plenty backstory.
Jack Dakkar, the very young grandson of Janni aboards the Nautilus without Janni’s knowledge and once he is discovered, they can’t afford the delay of getting him back to Lincoln Island.
Nautilus’s tracking of the supposed Ayesha takes the crew to the Amazon river, where they will have one heck of adventure dealing with elements from A. Merritt’s The Face in the Abyss, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s The Lost World and both works by Ira Levin: The Stepford Wives and The Boys from Brazil.
The Nazi Reich is rising again, with new technological threars, and Captain Nemo II (aka Janni Dakkar) is the only one able to stop it!!!
The vendetta between Ayesha’s legacy and Nemo’s family is coming to a deadly closure!!!

Rider Haggard, the same author of "King Solomon's Mines" where the character of Allan Quatermaine is introduced, in fact Queen Ayesha and Quatermaine appear together in other book by the same author ;)
