- In a world where all the fictions ever written coalesce into a rich mosaic, it’s 1975. Janni Dakkar, pirate queen of Lincoln Island and head of the fabled Nemo family, is eighty years old and beginning to display a tenuous grasp on reality. Pursuing shadows from her past — or her imagination — she embarks on what may be a final voyage down the vastness of the Amazon, a last attempt to put to rest the blood-drenched spectres of old. With allies and adversaries old and new, we accompany an aging predator on her obsessive trek into the cultural landscape of a strange new continent, from the ruined city of Yu-Atlanchi to the fabulous plateau of Maple White Land. As the dark threads in her narrative are drawn into an inescapable web, Captain Nemo leads her hearse-black Nautilus in a desperate raid on horrors believed dead for decades.
- Through the exotic spectacle of an imagined South America, Alan Moore and Kevin O’Neill steer their fifty-year-long Nemo trilogy to its remarkable conclusion, borne upon a River of Ghosts.

The Final Voyage of Janni Dakkar By David Swan I’ve read and reviewed all the Century volumes and all the Nemo (Janni) volumes and this is the first time I did my homework PRIOR to reading the story. Using clues from the product description I read The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, The Face in the Abyss by A. Merritt and even Eight Hundred Leagues on the Amazon by Jules Verne just on the chance it might get a mention. Turns out what I should have done was watched ‘Dr. Goldfoot and the Bikini Machine’ and read an extremely obscure comic from 1902 called Hugo Hercules.I have not given any of the Century or Nemo volumes rave reviews and that’s not going to change with this latest volume. River of Ghosts is very similar in plot to The Roses of Berlin, including hunting down the previously decapitated Princess Ayesha, except this story is not as good. I would love to say that the writer of Watchmen, Swamp Thing and Miracleman had re-found his mojo and produced a new masterpiece but there is nothing here that comes close to Alan Moore at his best. Like the other two stories in the Nemo trilogy the plot appears to be incidental and the story seems to exist to cram in references to literary and movie characters. Probably the most interesting character in the book was the enormous and seemingly indestructible bodyguard of Janni, Hugo Hercules. He’s a bit of an exaggeration of the original comic character but it was neat that Alan Moore resurrected what some consider the first super powered comic character. I had never heard of the character before reading this story.If you loved Heart of Ice and The Roses of Berlin you’ll probably love River of Ghosts but for me it was simply a pale reflection of Moore’s greater works. I have no idea if Alan Moore will ever produce another masterpiece like V for Vendetta or The Killing Joke but I’ll continue to support his new material even if my reviews aren’t offering great praise. Alan Moore has produced more marvelous stories than any other comic writer ever and his craftsmanship even here is top notch but it just lacks those magical moments from earlier works. It’s an attractive hard cover book but when I go to my shelf to read some great Alan Moore stories this book will likely sit on the shelf collecting dust.
3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Good - to OK, but not great By Treetown I am a big fan of Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill's earlier work. The Nemo stories (Heart of Ice, Roses of Berlin, River of Ghosts) are a spinoff of their highly successful League of Extraordinary Gentlemen series. It supposes that the original Captain Nemo left his mantle to his daughter Janni (who appears peripherally in LOEG III Centuries).This volume wraps up the Nemo saga with her going on one last adventure despite being quite old and frail - she remains the world's most dangerous grandmother. The plot basically ties up the loose ends from the earlier works and complete Janni's rivalry with the Immortal Ayesha. I am sad to say that the art work is OK and the story is sort of OK as well. The plot twists and reveals unfortunately having been anticipated by many other works. It is NOT a spoiler that there could be ex-Nazis (or their LOEG counterparts) hiding in South America. The only clever revelation is the re-introduction of one of the first super human heroes from popular literature.If you are completist then you'll probably want to get this. If you are hoping for something like LOEG then you might be a bit disappointed. There are clever bits and moments but nothing that is organized as a story.Frankly if you recall the LOEG Black Dossier, many of the adventures outlined in the Dossier would make a better story.

He's crafted so many of the 'essential' works of what was once considered a trash medium, anything less is taken as an insult, by some. How many times can he surpass himself, or even match the stories that made him an icon. Watchmen, From Hell, Lost Girls, A Small Killing, LOEG, Top Ten, Promethea -- he's created works that will be remembered, and read, fifty years from now (even if they're not printed on paper). But he's also created tales that are too experimental for most, and even some that are a bit light, intellectually, for fans. Apparently some readers will find every effort that is inferior to Watchmen unforgivable; but judged fairly, the LOEG books of the last decade are excellent, entertaining reads, with a complexity that few authors can handle. Readers don't have to recognize every cultural reference, and it's ridiculous to think Moore expected that of his audience. The tapestry that once incorporated the narrative threads of Victorian England now approaches Bayeux-like dimensions, including multiple time periods and media. For those willing to engage with the work, it can be fascinating and even instructive, sending people on a hunt across Wikipedia and Amazon. That doesn't happen much in comics; it's an isolated, self-referential art-form. Too many fans read nothing but comics, so an introduction to something outside the comic-book containment field is always positive. But if not, so what? Moore is still writing stories that stand on their own (except the Black Dossier, I suppose). And I'll take Moore's work over the repetitious superhero drek Marvel and DC churn out.]Alan Moore and Kevin O'Neill continue to build their literary comics-wonderland, a meta-narrative that incorporates classic fiction both great and obscure. Following the course charted by Janni, the daughter and successor of the original League of Extraordinary Gentlemen member Captain Nemo, the aging crew of the dreaded Nautilus make their way to Antarctica. Tiring of murder and plunder, Janni retraces her fathers steps, seeking adventure and a chance to solve the mystery of what it was he found on the frozen continent, something so terrible it nearly drove one of the world's most fearsome and fearless men insane. Meanwhile, they are unaware that their latest attack on property belonging to a strange and exotic 'queen' has made them a dangerous enemy; enlisting the aid of famous science-heroes/mercenaries, they track Janni and her crew to the south pole, willing to murder anyone who comes between them and their prey. But they have stumbled into an alien world constructed from nightmares, where an elder god known as 'Tekelele' sleeps. Even space and time become sick in this mountain range, or as H.P. Lovecraft dubbed them, 'The Mountains of Madness'.
