As a child, one of the first books I read when I learned to read (look at my dyslexia story here on Gamers Web) was Jules Vernes 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, a fantastical tale that pitted one man against the war machines of the world in an attempt to bring about world peace. The man was Captain Nemo and with his fantastic submarine The Nautilus I escaped into a world of danger and peril and adventure.
