A riff on Dracula, with a Verne twist. Fairly typical Verne characters, but a fun setting and an interesting plot.
If not as scientifically theoretical or adventurous as some of his others, it stands out for just being solid and well-paced. It doesn't spend any more time anywhere than it needs to, and there is something to be said for that.
