<br/><br/> "The Purchase of the North Pole" by Jules Verne is an adventure novel published in 1889. The Baltimore Gun Club returns with an audacious scheme: buy the Arctic and use a massive cannon's recoil to tilt Earth's axis, ending seasons forever and exposing valuable coal deposits beneath the ice. As their plan threatens to flood entire nations, the world races to stop them. But a single mathematical error may doom—or save—everything. A satirical tale about scientific ambition and human fallibility. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
