Summary of the work:

The plot in the novel (oddly too brief, compared to any other) concerns the strange appearances of a mysterious craft, both as a high-speed vehicle on land and as a ship or even a flying craft, throughout the United States and the fruitless efforts of the police to stop it in order to interrogate its inventor and thus find out the means by which he has achieved such an advance.

After several futile attempts to approach the mysterious ship and its secrets, a police inspector, Stroke, manages to be kidnapped by his crew, who turn out to be led by the American engineer Robur, the same one who appeared years earlier at one of the meetings. of the "Weldon Institute" in Philadelphia (in the novel "Robur the Conqueror").
