The Archipelago on Fire (French: L’Archipel en feu, 1884) is an adventure novel written by Jules Verne, taking place during the Greek War of Independence.

On the 18th of October, 1827, about five o’clock in the evening, a small Levantine vessel piloted by Captain Nicholas Starcos of the Karysta returns home to Vitylo, an ancient village in the Peloponnesus, only to be denied entry by his mother, who denounces him for what he has become.

They fall in love then make plans to marry, but Starcos, who holds a devastating secret against the girl's father, demands her hand in marriage—or else.

While she takes steps to right her father's wrongs, the distraught d’Albaret returns to the war until he is given command of the ship Syphanta.

Eventually d’Albaret tracks Sacratif, a notorious pirate, to Crete, where Verne brings this informative and entertaining novel to a surprise ending.
