"The opening of the book sets the stage with a scene involving the manager of an upscale restaurant perplexed by a peculiar letter ordering a lavish dinner for four from a distant land. The letter, signed by Dr. Nikola, hints at a meeting of great importance, drawing in three seemingly unrelated men from across the globe. As the characters gather in anticipation of what Dr. Nikola has in store, we learn about Richard Hatteras, a strong and independent man from Queensland, whose own travels and adventures will soon converge with Nikola's schemes, suggesting a thrilling mix of personal discovery and high-stakes intrigue ahead."
