The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne

Left to right: Michel Courtemanche as Passepartout, Michael Praed as Phileas Fogg, Francesca Hunt as Rebecca Fogg, and Chris Demetral as Jules Verne.

The Secret Adventures of Jules Verne (SAJV) is a 22-episode science fiction television series in the steam punk genre. A television technological historic footnote, the work was first hour-long series filmed entirely in HDTV format.

The plot concept is predicated on a vast fictional conspiracy beginning with the revelation that Jules Verne did not invent the stories behind his famous science fiction classic books Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea, Journey to the Center of the Earth or Around the World in Eighty Days - but actually experienced these adventures.

The Aurora

The Aurora is at the heart of The Secret Adventure of Jules Verne. The world's first dirigible airship, property of Mr. Phileas Fogg of London, it combines unexampled luxury, total mobility and an extraordinary array of weapons and gadgets. It is to this series what the Starship Enterprise is to Star Trek: both a home base and the route to the world of adventure.
