Description
A cool illustration of a changed Captain Nemo who went through a portal at the bottom of the ocean to end up in a world of nothing but water and 20 Trillion Leagues under the sea! This is an illustration by the novel by author Adam Roberts and illustrated by Mahendra Singh.

Here is a review from a reddit user on the novel:

In Twenty Trillion Leagues Under the Sea by Adam Roberts the replica of Captain Nemo's Nautilus is built and crewed with sailors and scientists to travel to the Continental Shelf and possibly beyond.

However, as soon as it passes those depths they lose control of the vessel and it continues to sink nonstop. Instead of dying and being crushed by the pressure, weird stuff starts to happen. The pressure equalizes, and they continue to go deeper; deeper, in fact, than it seems to be possible...

This was a nonstop ride that continued to ramp up every single chapter. It is filled with claustrophobia, mystery, peculiarity and eeriness, characters you want to throttle and characters you are rooting for, and weird shit that just gets weirder and weirder.

On top of all that, there are magnificent illustrations by Mahendra Singh at the end of every chapter! Here are some illustrations that don't spoil anything, but I promise you they get weirder and more intriguing.

One final note: it's not necessary to have read Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea prior to reading this. There are some references but if you just read a quick summary of the Jules Verne's book, that would be more enough. ALSO, you do not need to have liked Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea to enjoy this. I personally hated that book, but still loved this one!

Ol’ Nemo, Captain to me
The Jules Verne world, Nautilus
Life under the sea
It’s better than anything of replica

The seaweed goes always deeper
Singh Mahendra illustrate
You dream about all the sailors
But that is a big mistake
Just look at artwork around you
Right here on the ocean floor
Such fun novel inks surround you
What more is you semaphore?

Under the sea
Under the Leagues
Drawing it's better
Down where Mahendra
Take it twenty
Up on the shore they work all day
One in Trillion they gave away
While we in novel
Full lines are floatin'
Under the sea
