Brian,  Thank you for the acknowledgement.  Although I've narrated other Verne works of dubious translation for another publisher, The Black Indies was a good translation that I self published.  I have more Jules Verne audio-books in the works using only good translations or new translations.  Presently getting some great voice coaching.  Stay tuned!
