The Floating Island. Robur the Conqueror. Master of the World

This edition includes three novels related to the theme of future transportation. «The Floating Island» is a standalone story, while «Robur the Conqueror» and «Master of the World» form a connected duology. In «The Floating Island», a quartet of French musicians finds themselves on Standard Island — a gigantic self-propelled city, where comfort and wealth do not eliminate the struggle for influence and hidden calculations. «Robur the Conqueror» revolves around the conflict between supporters of airships and the creator of a heavier-than-air flying machine: the dispute quickly escalates beyond a scientific meeting and turns into a risky journey. In «Master of the World», Inspector John Strock investigates a series of strange incidents on land, on water, underwater, and in the sky, trying to track down a mysterious inventor.
