Three thousand years after a chunk of iron the size of Khufu’s pyramid collides with Europa, Jupiter’s sixth moon, an asteroid borne of the collision crashes into Earth’s Arctic ice shelf carrying extraterrestrial microbial life. The first man to come into contact with the microbes hears voices—and then dies. After determining the meteorite originated from Europa, the Global Exploratory Corporation sends oceanographer and biologist, Kathy Connelly, and her crew to the moon aboard the Surveyo ...

First published in 1902 as a serial in Pall Mall Magazine, the adventure novel follows the disrupting events onboard a steamboat after it takes a perilous course at sea, which triggers a state of mayhem onboard the steamer. Furthermore, the incident prompts the crew to gradually reveal their true nature which is brought to light in the time of crisis. Interestingly, the tale is believed to possess some autobiographical elements taken from Conrad’s own experiences at sea, which provide the novel with a strong foundation, as he effectively uses personification, imagery, and descriptive language to accurately illustrate the danger and chaos instigated by a powerful storm at sea. The nautical tale begins with the introduction of Captain John Mac Whirr, a stolid and steadfast man who is the captain of Nan-Shan, a Siamese steamer carrying Chinese workers back to their homeland. Also onboard the ship is its crew including Jukes, the first mate, and Solomon Rout, the chief engineer, both of whom play an important role in the steamer’s journey. Although things seem to be running smoothly, the positive atmosphere is abruptly interrupted when the captain is warned about a looming storm ahead and is advised by his first mate, Jukes to change the steamer’s course. However, determined to stay on schedule and unwilling to follow an alternate course, Mac Whirr disregards the threat, firmly believing in the steamer’s ability to withstand any natural force. Consequently, he steers the vessel right into the eye of the storm, which sets off havoc among the crew and Chinese laborers, as they are hurled into an intense struggle against the ruthless forces of nature. Conrad goes on to effectively portray the numerous shades of human characteristics, as he provides vivid illustrations of the possible reactions brought about in the face of danger. Moreover, Conrad effectively substantiates his distinguished position in literature through his masterful use of language, as his evocative descriptions allow the audience to step aboard the Nan-Shan, and experience the terrible effect and intensity of the storm for themselves. A gripping piece that is sure to enthrall any fan of nautical adventure, Typhoon offers a generous serving of thrills throughout its pages.
