The science fiction stories of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle stand alongside those of Jules Verne and H. G. Wells. The protagonist, the 'cave-man in a lounge suit', is the maddening, irascible and fascinating Professor George Edward Challenger.

The stories range from The Lost World, a sort of 'Jurassic Park', high above the Amazon rain-forest, to the ecologically significant When the World Screamed. Other fine examples of Doyle's imagination at its best are The Land of Mist and The Disintegration Machine.
