The Nemo trilogy is a 216-page story arc spanning fifty years, divided into three 72-page chapters, each a self-contained narrative to avoid frustrating cliff-hanger delays between episodes, that takes place in three distinct eras.

In the first chapter she is in a race to Antarctica in 1925. In the second chapter, set in 1941, she has to invade Berlin to rescue her daughter Hira and son-in-law Armand Robur from Adenoid Hynkel's Nazi-forces. In the third chapter, set in 1975, she embarks on the Amazon in what may be her final voyage.
