An exciting account of a jungle expedition’s encounter with living dinosaurs, written with the same panache exhibited in the author’s Sherlock Holmes mysteries.

Arthur Conan Doyle

Professor Challenger sends telegrams asking his three companions from The Lost World - Edward Malone, Lord John Roxton, and Professor Summerlee - to join him at his home outside of London and to bring a tank of oxygen. When they arrive, they are ushered into a sealed room, along with Challenger and his wife. In the course of his research, Challenger has predicted that the Earth is about to come into contact with a belt of poisonous ether, which will cause the end of humanity. Can they survive?

The Land of Mist

Professor Challenger: Book 3

Arthur Conan Doyle

The 'Land of Mist' is the third novel in Arthur Conan Doyle's 'Professor Challenger' series. The first was written in 1912 and is entitled 'The Lost World', describing an expedition to a plateau in South America where dinosaurs still survive. Then in 1913 he wrote 'The Poison Belt', describing a disaster as the earth passes through a cloud of poisonous ether. Finally, in 1926 'The Land of Mist', which is heavily influenced by Doyle's growing belief in Spiritualism after a number of his close relatives died. It is therefore seem as semi-autobiographical, Challenger and Conan Doyle both grieving men and both interested in Spirituality.
