At the Royal Geographical Society in London, disputes flare up: Dr. Samuel Ferguson claims he has created a controllable hot-air balloon. To prove his words, he sets off on a risky journey to the mysterious source of the Nile—with his loyal servant Joe and a skeptical friend, Dick Kennedy. Their goal is to map uncharted lands and record the discoveries they make. On the way, the expedition faces the whims of nature, encounters with dangerous animals, attacks by local tribes, and slave traders. Only courage, ingenuity, and the advantages of the advanced “Victoria” can help the trio survive this trial.
