AIRSHIP 27 PRODUCTIONS’ 100th
TITLE!
YOUNG NEMO AND
THE BLACK KNIGHTS
Airship 27 Productions presents a new novel
by award winning writer/editor, Michael Vance that explores the origins of one
of literatures greatest fictional characters; Captain Nemo.
In 1870, French science fiction author Jules
Verne published “Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea,” and introduced to the
world to Captain Nemo, commander of the world’s first submarine, the
Nautilus. But what of Nemo’s origin?
He was an Indian whose title and name at
birth were Prince Rajesh Dakkar, son of the Rajah, or King, of the then
independent territory of Bundelkund. His
father hired a teacher whose own reputation for wisdom would spread across the
nation. His name was Indra Singh, and his principal purpose was to mentor
Rajesh and to secure the best tutors and materials for the instruction of his
student.
But book learning within the confines of
palace walls was not enough for the young prince. He longed for adventure and at the age of eighteen
purchased a 150 ton brig with square rigged sails, dramatically modified and
improved the efficiency of the craft. He
set out to conquer the world leading an international crew of rogues and
thieves soon to be called the Black Knights.
Airship 27 Managing Editor, Ron Fortier,
explains the story behind this incredible book.
“Back in the 1980s, Michael Vance wrote a comic book mini-series entitled,
THE ADVENTURES OF YOUNG NEMO, which was illustrated by our own Art Director Rob
Davis. When he suggested the possibility
of adapting that series into a novel, all of us knew it was a great idea and
he’s proven us right.”
Davis, along with colorist Shane Evans
provides the cover and design of the book with interior illustrations by artist
Chuck Bordell.
