DOYLE ARTHUR CONAN THE POISON BELT AND OTHER PR...

Summoned from London  journalist Edward Malone  narrator of Arthur Conan Doyle's
prehistoric-adventure novel The Lost World  finds himself reunited with his erstwhile
travelling companions at the country home of their leader  the indomitable Professor Challenger
who  confining his guests in a sealed room with the cylinders of oxygen they have brought at
his request  informs them that the Earth is passing through an immense miasma of poisonous
ether that will likely extirpate all life. And so the isolated inmates begin a grim and
terrifying vigil - but will the toxic vapour dissipate before their limited supply of oxygen is
exhausted?  Presented here with two short stories representing further thrilling episodes in
the illustrious career of Conan Doyle's other great anti-hero  Professor Challenger - ?The
Disintegration Machine' and ?When the World Screamed' - The Poison Belt is a tour de force of
speculative fiction that is the equal of any of the author's best-known works.
