Professor Challenger returns to test one of his theories by digging underground and poking the planet in this classic adventure story. In The Lost World, Professor Challenger and reporter Edward Malone found dinosaurs living in the Amazon. In The Poison Belt, they witnessed chaos as Earth passed through a cloud of poison gas. Now, with the help of Peerless Jones, an expert in Artesian boring, they seek to test the professor’s Echinus theory . . . Professor Challenger believes that Earth is a sentient being. Like the sea urchin, it is protected by an outer layer, unaware of what happens on its surface. Challenger wants to dig beneath Earth’s protective layer, its crust, and touch the creature inside to let it know humanity is here. But what the men find underground is quite surprising . . .

George Edward Challenger, better known as Professor Challenger, was a fictional character in a series of fantasy and science fiction stories written by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Unlike Conan Doyle's self-controlled, analytical character, Sherlock Holmes, Professor Challenger was an aggressive, hot-tempered, dominating figure. He was also a pretentious and self-righteous scientific jack-of-all-trades. Challenger was, in many ways, rude, crude, and without social conscience or inhibition. Yet he was a man capable of great loyalty and his love of his wife was all encompassing. Within these pages are all five Professor Challenger stories: Two novels (The Lost World and The Land of Mist), one novella (The Poison Belt) and two short stories (The Disintegration Machine and When the World Screamed). A salways, Conan Doyle brings the characters - and his world - alive! He pulls us in with them, until we are truly worried for them! And in these five tales, the danger is truly great. From a land where danger lurks on land, water and air - from creatures which should be extinct, to an apocalyptic danger threatening our entire planet, to a scientific creation with truly horrifying possible misuses. And though less dangerous, no less incredible is the tale of spiritualism, and how it can be cruelly used for profit, and a tale that might make you think just how terrible our abuse of our planet might be! Professor Challenger may be gone, but these exciting tales, from the rich, imaginative mind of one of the world's greatest writers, remain to entertain us! Come along for the ride!

Nothing could be done. The thing was universal and beyond our human knowledge or control. It was death for young and old, for weak and strong, for rich and poor, without hope or possibility of escape. Must Professor George Challenger and friends, barricaded in a room, see Earth die? As globe passes through a belt of poisonous ether, terror sweeps mankind; cities riot; communications cease.
