Facing the Flag
Jules Verne
Play
Length 6 h 11 min
Chapters 18
First published 1897
Like The Begum's Millions, which Verne published in 1879, it has the theme of France and the entire world threatened by a super-weapon (what would now be called a weapon of mass destruction) with the threat finally overcome through the force of French patriotism. (Summary by Wikipedia)
