The science fiction stories of Doyle stand along side those of Jules Verne and HG Wells. The protagonist is the 'cave-man in a long suit', the maddening, irascible and fascinating Professor George Edward Challenger.

The stories range from a sort of Jurassic Park in The Lost World high above the Amazon rain forest, to the ecologically significant When the World Screamed as well as other fine examples of Doyle's imagination at its best in The Land of Mist and The Disintregration Machine. This collection is for all readers who love science fiction and all who are interested in the early developement of the genre.
