  Around the World in Eighty Days (French: Le tour du monde en quatre-vingts jours) is an adventure novel by the French writer Jules Verne, first published in French in 1872. In the story, Phileas Fogg of London and his newly employed French valet Passepartout attempt to circumnavigate the world in 80 days on a £20,000 wager (£2,242,900 in 2019) set by his friends at the Reform Club. It is one of Verne's most acclaimed works.
  The story starts in London on Wednesday, 2 October 1872. Phileas Fogg is a rich British gentleman living in solitude. Despite his wealth, Fogg lives a modest life with habits carried out with mathematical precision. Very little can be said about his social life other than that he is a member of the Reform Club, where he spends much of every day. Having dismissed his former valet, James Forster, for bringing him shaving water at 84 °F (29 °C) instead of 86 °F (30 °C), Fogg hires Frenchman Jean Passepartout as a replacement.

  In 1783, Liam Brock, David Graham, and Elisabeth Hale crossed the Atlantic on a life-changing voyage. Together by chance, bound by choice—their story continues in this "sweeping epic". (Kirkus Reviews) 
  When the orphaned Liam Brock first set foot in Philadelphia, he was brimming with aspirations. Now, seven years later, he faces a startling sensation of loss as his constant companions, David and Elisabeth, begin a life apart. Aimless for the first time in his life, he forgoes opportunities to pursue his passion for law and continues dallying with a variety of Philadelphia's young women. His poor Scottish roots and questionable parentage, always a sore spot, suddenly impede any possibility of a profession—at least in his own mind. 
  Then Elisabeth's childhood friend, the fiery and independent Rhiannon Ross, comes to town, seeking reprieve from a misguided marriage. Though yet another reminder of his limitations, she grabs Liam's interest from the outset, compelling him to open his heart once more to life's possibilities. 
  "An investment worth making for the author’s vivid historical detail and convincing slice-of-life predicaments. Historical fiction fans should take note." ~ Publishers Weekly

  “Themes of a colorful assortment of stories range from life on other planets to alternative history . . . a perfect introduction to his perennial genius.” —Booklist 
   
  Poul Anderson himself has put together a retrospective collection of his recent writings, fiction and nonfiction, under the title All One Universe. This is the first major Poul Anderson collection in a decade. It encompasses all his strengths as a teller of tales and, in addition, provides a running commentary in the story notes and in the essays on other literary figures such as Rudyard Kipling, Johannes B. Jensen, and John W. Campbell, Jr., commentary that illuminates the fiction, gives personal insight into the mind of this fine writer, and provides a unifying personality for All One Universe. All One Universe, then, represents the new best of Poul Anderson. It is a rich, varied selection of quintessential science fiction as well as four essays, mostly from recent years, by one of the great science fiction writers of the century. His stories are filled with roaring energy, the soul of poetry, and dark imaginings. 
   
  “A fine introduction to one of SF’s masters.” —Starlog 
   
  “Fact and fiction, shaped by one of SF’s keenest minds, are mingled in this collection . . . On the whole, All One Universe is a collection which does its creator proud while delighting his fans.” —Rapport 
   
  “Poul Anderson’s writings have been at a remarkably high, consistent level of quality for nearly fifty years, now. All One Universe is a book for anyone interested in either SF or in craftsmanship.” —David Drake
