- Verne's poking fun at Americans here, and it lands: a club of bored Civil War artillerymen decide to fire a cannon at the moon, and Michel Ardan cheerfully volunteers to ride inside. You'll skim some ballistics math, but the deadpan enthusiasm carries you right through.
- You get the pleasure of being trapped in a tiny projectile with Barbicane, Nicholl, and Michel Ardan, whose arguments and practical ingenuity keep the lunar voyage lively. The science is wonderfully speculative and often dated, but the cramped camaraderie and odd technical details make this a charming, slightly eccentric read.
- A quick pulpy one: a disgraced pilot plants false memories in a drifter kid, Vye, to fake an heir on a safari planet, and then the planet itself starts pulling strings. Thin on character, honestly, but the paranoia and alien weirdness make a fun afternoon.
