Vulcanium: (The Secret of Captain Nemo and the Nautilus) is a 2013 novel by Pat Regan written as a prequel to 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.The year is 1858. The prison ship Moira brings a group of convicts to the island of Laukona, a dreadful place where political misfits are sent for life to work in salpeter mines.In their midst is a reclusive scientist almost driven mad by torture and the loss of his family, who upon arriving in prison is only registered as Nemo. As he slowly recovers, he gathers around him a group of other inmates just as eager to escape as he is, each with useful skills and as decent a man as one can find in such a place.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Amongst them, the Maori Manu, a fiercely protective warrior; Jonas Boothby, a former captain turned smuggler; Solomon Jones, an escaped slave; Jacques Berneaux and Leo Piette, a tandem of French con-artists, and Oliver Rushton, an artisan who accidentaly found himself on the wrong side of the law. All in all, twenty-four men who manage to escape and steal the island supply ship, heading for unknown territories. Along with three sailors stationned on the stolen ship, they discover a remote island and settle there, until a landslide destroys their way out and forces them to dismantle their frigate and turn her into something entirely new: an autonomous, long-range submarine.The story was written and published by life-long fan Pat Regan, also a celebrated builder of submarine replicas. | |

Vulcanium / int_116a941b | comment |
Applied Phlebotinum: The "vulcanium" used to power the submarine and the base is completely fictionnal and we don't even know how it's made; averted with the Nautilus and the diving suits: since Regan built them as a hobby, he knows exactly how it must be done to work properly. | |

Vulcanium / int_7464705c | comment |
Arc Words: Nostra Facimus Monstra (we make our own monsters), from Jacques Berneaux's tattoo; "C'est la guerre" (it's war), used regularly by Berneaux and then Nemo; "I don't think we need to vote on this", both the Chief and Boothby's catchphrase. | |

Above Good and Evil | |
Vulcanium / int_86968c96 | comment |
Above Good and Evil: Played with; none of the men consider what they do as "evil" but some - Nemo amongst them - are reluctant to either kill people or sink ships. At first. | |
