Where Dinosaurs Still Roam

Meet Professor Challenger, the bad-tempered genius who is Conan Doyle's other great hero.

In The Lost World, Challenger leads an expedition to a remote South American plateau where dinosaurs still roam. The Poison Belt sees the Earth drift into a cloud of poisonous ether while Challenger and his friends watch from a sealed room, The Land of Mist plunges him into the world of spiritualism, and The Disintegration Machine confronts him with an inventor who can make anything vanish.

Bold, funny and full of wonder, these stories inspired generations of adventure and science fiction.
