The Clipper of the Clouds was published in 1886 and is also known as Robur the Conqueror. It is a science fiction novel by Jules Verne. It has a sequel, Master of the World, which was published in 1904. The story follows the adventures of the mysterious Robur, a brilliant inventor whose story parallels that of Captain Nemo, but instead of the ocean, he roams the air. He invents a flying machine Albatross which can fly around the world. He has a dispute with other inventors of a lighter-than-air dirigible, the Go-Ahead.
